Abstract
Herein we report on the synthesis of 0D and 1D copper selenide nanocrystals using a modified hydrothermal method and a hot injection method. We further look at the performance of these nanocrystals as an active layer in Schottky solar cells. The 1D copper selenide showed superior solar energy conversion efficiency compared to 0D nanospheres, namely 0.62% and 2.2% respectively. The better performance of the 1D nanostructure is attributed to their ability to overlap and form continuous networks that aid charge transport.
