Nanocrystalline Materials for Hybrid Photovoltaic Devices

Abstract:

Nanocomposites containing inorganic semiconductor nanomaterials are of tremendous interest for low-cost 3^rd generation solar cells. A variety of possible materials and structures could be potentially used to reduce processing costs which is highly attractive for large scale production of solar cells. Controlling the morphology and surface chemistry of nanomaterials remains a key challenge that has major knock-on effects in devices. Herein, an attempt is made to highlight some of the challenges and the possible solutions for depositing high quality thin film composites for solar cell devices.
