Modeling high-efficiency quantum dot sensitized solar cells.
With energy conversion efficiencies in continuous growth, quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) are currently under an increasing interest, but there is an absence of a complete model for these devices. Here, we compile the latest developments in this kind of cells in order to attain high efficiency QDSCs, modeling the performance. CdSe QDs have been grown directly on a TiO(2) surface by s...
متن کاملQuantum Dot Sensitized Solar Cells
In response to rapidly increasing global energy demand, the development of alternative energy sources to fossil fuels has emerged as one of the most urgent technological challenges. Solar energy, which represents a nearly unlimited source of clean power, has been considered as one of the most promising new energy sources. In addition to the current success of silicon based solar cells, quantum ...

متن کاملSILAR Sensitization as an Effective Method for Making Efficient Quantum Dot Sensitized Solar Cells
CdSe quantum dots were in situ deposited on various structures of TiO2 photoanode by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). Various sensitized TiO2 structures were integrated as a photoanode in order to make quantum dot sensitized solar cells. High power conversion efficiency was obtained; 2.89 % (Voc=524 mV, Jsc=9.78 mA/cm2, FF=0.56) for the cells that sensitized by SILAR meth...
متن کاملQuantum Dot Solar Cells: High Efficiency through Multiple Exciton Generation
Impact ionization is a process in which absorbed photons in semiconductors that are at least twice the bandgap can produce multiple electron-hole pairs. For single-bandgap photovoltaic devices, this effect produces greatly enhanced theoretical thermodynamic conversion efficiencies that range from 45 85%, depending upon solar concentration, the cell temperature, and the number of electron-hole p...
