Quantum Dot Solar Breakthrough at University of Toronto
Quantum dots (also known as nanocrystals) have certain electronic properties, which we can use to convert photons (light particles) into electricity in much the same way as with traditional solar cells. Quantum dot solar cells films, are usually built up by much more inexpensive material if compared to crystalline- or thin film silicon, which is [...]
Organic Solar Cells: Game Changer or Hype?
Over the last decade, people have become much more conscious of how they use energy, and the trend for using gadgets and gizmos that are more efficient, more effective and sustainable is on the rise. However, scientists and researchers have been looking for ways to make components used to manufacture solar cells as environmentally friendly [...]
