Investigation of Semiconductor Quantum Dots for Quantum Sensitized Solar Cells (QDSSCs)
Journal Title: Cumhuriyet Science journal - Year 2017, Vol 38, Issue 4
Abstract
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have recently attracted great interest as a material for solar energy conversion due to its versatile optical and electrical properties. QD-based solar cells (QDSSCs) are one of the evolving semiconductor QD solar cells that show promising developments for the new generation of solar cells. This work focuses on 1) quantum confinement effect in QDSSC, 2) multiple excitation production (MEG) of QDs, 3) production methods of QDs and 4) nanocrystalline photoelectrodes for solar cells. In addition, proposals are made for research on future QDSSCs. Although the QDSSC's effectiveness is still low, I believe there will be significant breakthroughs in the development of QDSSCs in the future.
