Finding the ideal size for a quantum dot – pv magazine USA
New research describes an algorithm that can calculate the ideal characteristics for a quantum dot to maximize cell efficiency.
From pv magazine Global
Quantum dots, crystal structures measuring just a few nanometers, are widely investigated for their potential to boost solar cell efficiencies by acting as a “light sensitizer” capable of absorbing and transferring light to another molecule. The process is known as “light fusion” and it enables an existing solar cell to absorb parts of the light spectrum with energy lower than its bandgap.
Most of the achievements made with quantum dots to date have been in conjunction with…
