Quantum Dot Solar Cells Break Conversion Efficiency Record - IEEE Spectrum Quantum dots have offered an attractive option for photovoltaics. Multijunction solar cells made from colloidal quantum dots (CQD) have been able to achieve around 7-percent conversion efficiency in the lab. While figures like this may not seem too impres
Sharp Regains Solar Cell Efficiency Record − The other key point I noted above was that the solar cell efficiency record was for “non-concentrator” solar cells. Beyond adding junctions, one can increase the efficiency of a solar cell by concentrating light. As you can see in the graph above, the hig
