Formation of US quantum dots (Q dots) on the vertically aligned ZnO nanorods electrode was carried out by chemical bath deposition. The diameter and thickness of ZnO nanorods are similar to 100-150 nm and similar to 1.6 mu m, respectively, and CdS Q dots on ZnO nanorods have a diameter of smaller than 15 nm. In application of the Q dots-sensitized solar cells, composite film exhibited a power conversion efficiency of 0.54\% under air mass 1.5 condition (80 mW/cm(2)), and incident-photon-to-current conversion efficiency showed 18.6\%.
