Oxide layer boosts performance in nanowire quantum dot solar cells

more »
Attempts to improve solar cells can seem a balancing act, as optimising one variable can compromise another. The introduction of nanowires to colloidal quantum-dot solar cells (CQDSCs) aroused interest as a means of improving a limitation in the charge-collection layer thickness. However the high nanowire surface area brings other inhibiting factors. Now Jin Chang, Qing Shen and colleagues demonstrate how a further modification using an oxide layer can reduce the nanowire surface area effects for better-performing solar cells.
