Metal nanoparticles and quantum dots as photosensitizers of solar cell batteries

Аннотация

The latest scientific research in the field of solar battery cell photosensitization by metal nanoparticles and quantum dots is considered. The effect of the nature and size of metal nanoparticles and quantum dots on electron transitions in large bandgap semiconductors is analyzed in order to find ways of enhancing the efficiency of solar energy conversion to useful work. The understanding of the mechanism of the photosensitization process using different techniques is required for successful development of improved solar batteries.
