Quantum Dots as Efficient Solar Energy Absorber: Review on Photovoltaics and Photoelectrochemical Systems
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9016-572X
Quantum dots (QDs) have enticed the researchers, due to their unconventional optical and electronic characteristics, contributing potentially for several applications such as biomedical, sensors, and optical and electronic devices. Properties like tunable band gap, multiple exciton generation and photoluminescence make them better suited for energy devices, pertaining to efficient energy absorption and conversion. Recently, researchers have started utilizing sensitization of semiconductors with QDs to efficiently harvest the energy from abundant source of energy, the Sun. At the same time, along with various applications of QDs, their toxic nature has also been debated among the scientific society, giving rise to the evolvement of environment-friendly or green QDs. The current brief review article will discuss the various aspects of utilizing the conventional QDs as well as green QDs, particularly carbon-based QDs (e.g., carbon and graphene), for the improvement in the solar energy absorption of semiconductors used in photovoltaic solar cells and in photoelectrochemical cells, based on the recent reports. The article also presents the working principle of the QDs-based photo-absorbing semiconductors in brief.
