What Types of Nanotechnology-Enhanced Solar Cells Exist?
There are several types of solar cells that leverage nanotechnology:
Perovskite Solar Cells: These use a perovskite-structured compound that can be engineered at the nanoscale to optimize its light-absorbing properties. Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: These use a layer of dye molecules on a nanostructured surface to capture light and generate electricity. Organic Photovoltaic Cells: These use organic molecules and polymers, often with nanoscale features, to generate electricity from sunlight. Quantum Dot Solar Cells: These use quantum dots to tune the absorption spectrum and enhance the efficiency of the solar cells.
