These quantum dots possess a high absorption coefficient and a suitable band gap. Additionally, the inherent toxicity of InP quantum dots is less compared to lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), which ...

Quantum Dot Intermediate Band Solar Cells (QD-IBSCs) represent an innovative approach in solar energy technology, aiming to enhance the efficiency of solar cells beyond traditional limits.

Colloidal quantum dots are solution-based nanocrystals prized for their unique light-harvesting abilities. They can illuminate, create color, harness solar energy and function as semiconductors. These ...

This increase in band gap leads to a blue shift in the absorption and emission ... enabling the development of highly selective and sensitive devices. Quantum dots and quantum wells are widely used in ...

As the size of the material decreases, the band gap increases, leading to a blue shift in the absorption and emission spectra. This effect is particularly pronounced in quantum dots, which display ...

Quantum dots are crystals of a fluorescent semiconductor material with a diameter of as few as 10 to 100 atoms (2-10 nm). They are used as labels for imaging molecules because of their very narrow ...
