What Types of Nanotechnology-based Solar Cells Are There?
Several types of solar cells utilize nanotechnology to improve their performance:
Perovskite solar cells: These cells use perovskite-structured materials to achieve high efficiency at a lower cost. Nanotechnology helps in tuning the material properties for better performance. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs): DSSCs use organic dyes to absorb sunlight. Nanotechnology enhances these cells by optimizing the size and shape of nanoparticles used in the photoanode. Organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs): OPVs use organic molecules or polymers to convert light into electricity. Nanotechnology plays a crucial role in developing new materials and improving the nanostructure of the active layers.
