Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been considered as one of the potential materials in solar cell
applications, owing to its relatively high conductivity, electron mobility, stability against photo …

Nonthermal plasmas have emerged as a viable synthesis technique for nanocrystal
materials. Inherently solvent and ligand-free, nonthermal plasmas offer the ability to …

The electronic properties of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are critically dependent on both
QD size and surface chemistry. Modification of quantum confinement provides control of the …

Multiple exciton generation (MEG) is a process that can occur in semiconductor
nanocrystals, or quantum dots (QDs), whereby absorption of a photon bearing at least twice …

For any emerging photovoltaic technology to become commercially relevant, both its power
conversion efficiency and photostability are key parameters to be fulfilled. Colloidal quantum …

Here we demonstrate materials and operating conditions that allow for high-resolution
printing of layers of quantum dots (QDs) with precise control over thickness and submicron …

Semiconductors show dramatic quantization effects when charge carriers (electrons and
holes) are confined by potential barriers to small regions of space where the dimensions of …

This review is focused on new concepts and recent progress in the development of three
major quantum dot (QD) based optoelectronic devices: photovoltaic cells, photodetectors …

Quantum‐dot‐sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) are a promising low‐cost alternative to existing
photovoltaic technologies such as crystalline silicon and thin inorganic films. The absorption …

Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) photovoltaics combine low-cost solution processability with
quantum size-effect tunability to match absorption with the solar spectrum. Rapid recent …
