Folded-Light-Path Colloidal Quantum Dot Solar Cells
Colloidal quantum dot photovoltaics combine low-cost solution processing with quantum size-effect tuning to match absorption to the solar spectrum. Rapid advances have led to certified solar power conversion efficiencies of over 7%. Nevertheless, these devices remain held back by a compromise in the choice of quantum dot film thickness, balancing on the one hand the need to maximize photon abso...
متن کاملEffect of PbS Film Thickness on the Performance of Colloidal Quantum Dot Solar Cells
Colloidal quantum dots offer broad tuning of semiconductor band structure via the quantum size effect. In this paper, we present a detailed investigation on the influence of the thickness of colloidal lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals (active layer) to the photovoltaic performance of colloidal quantum dot solar cells. The PbS nanocrystals (QDs) were synthesized in a non-coordinating solvent, 1-oc...
متن کاملIntroducing nanostructure patterns for performance enhancement in PbS colloidal quantum dot solar cells
With attention to the thin film structure of colloidal quantum dot solar cells, in this paper in order to improvement of active layer absorption of them, we have proposed the use of nanostructure pattern for enhancement of their performance. For this purpose we have presented suitable nano hemisphare patterns in colloidal quantum dot solar cells for light trapping in absorption layer. Then with...
متن کاملImproving the performance of colloidal quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells.
Solar cells based on a mesoporous structure of TiO2 and the polysulfide redox electrolyte were prepared by direct adsorption of colloidal CdSe quantum dot light absorbers onto the oxide without any particular linker. Several factors cooperate to improve the performance of quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells: an open structure of the wide bandgap electron collector, which facilitates a higher cov...
متن کاملColloidal quantum dot based solar cells: from materials to devices
Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) have attracted attention as a next-generation of photovoltaics (PVs) capable of a tunable band gap and low-cost solution process. Understanding and controlling the surface of CQDs lead to the significant development in the performance of CQD PVs. Here we review recent progress in the realization of low-cost, efficient lead chalcogenide CQD PVs based on the surface ...
