Quantum dot photovoltaics make a lasting impression – Phys.org
A process developed at KAUST for depositing extremely thin and smooth films can make it easier to manufacture stable solar cells based on quantum dot technology.

Colloidal quantum dots are tiny semiconductor particles capable of absorbing light over a broad range of wavelengths. Because these dots are easy to mix into liquid solvents, researchers have used them as ‘solar inks’ that can be printed onto bendable plastic sheets. However, early prototypes revealed that exposure to air and ultraviol…
