THE SYNTHESIS AND PRODUCTION CHALLENGES OF QUANTUM DOT BASED SOLAR CELLS

Non-conventional sources of energy are widely being practiced because they are the cleanest and the most abundant source of energy that is available in the earth. Effective utilization of available solar energy to produce the electricity is vital for the increase in the growth of deployment of solar power generation. Owing to the high efficiency and its ease of operation the study of Quantum Dot solar cells has been on an increase ever since the onset of this decade. Extensive research work has been carried out to make these cells more feasible and commercially viable. Some of the areas of this extensive work include Sensitized Solar Cells, Multiple Excitation Effect and Carbon Quantum Dot. The different materials and methods used in quantum dot solar cells are discussed in this article
