Air-Stable All-Inorganic Nanocrystal Solar Cells Processed from Solution

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: We introduce an ultrathin donor-acceptor solar cell composed entirely of inorganic nanocrystals spin-cast from solution. These devices are stable in air, and post-fabrication processing allows for power conversion efficiencies approaching 3% in initial tests. This demonstration elucidates a class of photovoltaic devices with potential for stable, low-cost power generation.
