Photovoltaic cells use semiconductors to convert sunlight into electrical current
and are regarded as a key technology for a sustainable energy supply. Quantum
dot-based solar cells have shown great potential as next generation, high
performance, low-cost photovoltaics due to the outstanding optoelectronic
properties of quantum dots and their multiple exciton generation (MEG)
capability. This review focuses on QDs as light harvesters in solar cells,
including different structures of QD-based solar cells, such as QD heterojunction
solar cells, QD-Schottky solar cells, QD-sensitized solar cells and the recent
development in organic-inorganic perovskite heterojunction solar cells.
Mechanisms, procedures, advantages, disadvantages and the latest results obtained
in the field are described. To summarize, a future perspective is offered.
