Solar cells colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals are attracting growing attention as the building blocks for inexpensive, large-area, solution-processed solar cells. The advantages here are the scalable and controlled synthesis, an ability to be processed in solution, the broadband absorption, and the superior transport properties of traditional photovoltaic semiconductors. Solar cells that rely exclusively on colloidal nanocrystals have been anticipated theoretically58 and...
