Quantum Dots May Lead to Rainbow Solar Cell


Quantum Dots May Lead to Rainbow Solar Cell from PhysOrg.com

For the first time, researchers have created solar cells made of different-sized quantum dots, each tuned to a specific wavelength of light. By arranging these quantum dots in an ordered pattern, the scientists hope that they can one day fabricate “rainbow” solar cells, which can efficiently harvest a large part of the useful spectrum of sunlight.
