Inserting indium arsenide quantum dots into crystalline III-V semiconductor-based photovoltaics results in both enhanced short-circuit current and improved efficiency.
Aluminum-doped zinc oxide provides a promising alternative to both fluorine-doped tin oxide and indium tin oxide for microcrystalline and amorphous thin-film photovoltaics.
Because of optical microcavity effects, using thin nonpatterned metal films instead of indium tin oxide in organic solar cells can result in similar efficiencies.
Incorporating molecules with special optical properties into thin, dye-sensitized solar cells brings the practical application of these photovoltaics one step closer.
