CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized and adsorbed onto nanocrystalline TiO₂ films for application in quantum dot sensitized solar cells(QDSSCs). Femtosecond transient absorption spectra was measured to investigate the effect of the ZnS shell coating on electron injection from CdSe QDs to nanocrystalline TiO₂ films. The results showed a decrease in electron injection rate from 7.14×10¹¹s^-1 to 2.38×10^-11s^-1 after ZnS shell coating, which means the electron injection rate only remained 1/3. The fill factor(FF) and stability of QDSSCs were improved by ZnS coating, but the photocurrent decreased, resulting in an overall decrease in efficiency. The slower electron injection rate is found to be the main cause for this decrease in photocurrent and efficiency, which matches well with the photovoltaic property test. These results provide information for optimizing the current and efficiency of QDSSCs employing core/shell QDs.
