Recent progress on quantum dot solar cells: a review
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have a potential to increase the power conversion efficiency in photovoltaic operation because of the enhancement of photoexcitation. Recent advances in self-assembled QD solar cells (QDSCs) and colloidal QDSCs are reviewed, with a focus on understanding carrier dynamics. For intermediate-band solar cells using selfassembled QDs, suppression of a reduction of op...
متن کاملRadiative Limits in Quantum Well Solar Cells
Quantum wells enable solar cell bandgaps to be tailored to the theoretical optimum, under the assumption of unity absorption. In practice however, quantum well regions are thinner and hence absorb less strongly than bulk material. We predict detailed balance efficiency limits for varying levels of absorptivity in singleand double-junction quantum-well solar cells. These calculations allow us to...

متن کاملRecent Progress in Solar Physics
A number of significant recent advances in solar physics are reviewed. New kinds of observations made during the present sunspot cycle, which began in 1954, have emphasized still further the apparent complexity of solar phenomena and the need of nonequilibrium theoretical treatments. Among the new developments di cussed are solar cosmic rays and highenergy particles, flares and prominences, cor...
متن کاملRecent Progress Towards Quantum Dot Solar Cells with Enhanced Optical Absorption
Quantum dot solar cells, as a promising candidate for the next generation solar cell technology, have received tremendous attention in the last 10 years. Some recent developments in epitaxy growth and device structures have opened up new avenues for practical quantum dot solar cells. Unfortunately, the performance of quantum dot solar cells is often plagued by marginal photon absorption. In thi...
