Researchers at the University of Queensland (UQ) have had a recent breakthrough on low-cost emerging generation quantum dot solar cells (QDSCs) that achieve a world record stabilised efficiency.
Key features
- Novel synthesis procedure for quantum dot ink for solar cells with record low loss
- Fast rate of synthesis
- Fabrication method results in superior stability and optoelectronic property compared to the current best in class QDSC
- Tuneable bandgap and narrow emission peaks
- Printable technology on flexible substrates
