Due to the ideal band gap and environmental friendliness, InP is a promising light-harvesting material in photovoltaic cells. However, “green” InP based quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) have been rarely reported. Herein, nearly monodispersed Sn doped InP (Sn:InP) quantum dots (QDs) were s...
