In the ever-increasing energy demand scenario, the development of novel photovoltaic (PV)
technologies is considered to be one of the key solutions to fulfil the energy request. In this …

This review captures the synthesis, assembly, properties, and applications of copper
chalcogenide NCs, which have achieved significant research interest in the last decade due …

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs), nanometer-scale semiconductor crystals capped with
surfactant molecules and dispersed in solution, have provided a powerful platform for the …

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

Nanocrystals (NCs) discussed in this Review are tiny crystals of metals, semiconductors,
and magnetic material consisting of hundreds to a few thousand atoms each. Their size …

Advances in solar photovoltaics are urgently needed to increase the performance and
reduce the cost of harvesting solar power. Solution-processed photovoltaics are cost …

A solution-based passivation scheme is developed featuring the use of molecular iodine
