Nanomaterials in Photovoltaic Technology: Enhancing Solar Cell Efficiency with Quantum Dots

Abstract

Nanomaterials, especially quantum dots (QDs), have emerged as significant materials in

photovoltaic (PV) technology due to their ability to enhance solar cell efficiency. Quantum dots

possess unique optical and electronic properties that allow for improved light absorption, energy

conversion, and charge transport. This paper explores the role of nanomaterials, focusing on

QDs, in enhancing the performance of solar cells. The integration of QDs into various PV

systems, such as organic solar cells, perovskite solar cells, and traditional silicon-based solar

cells, has led to notable advancements in efficiency. This review highlights the current

advancements, challenges, and future directions in using quantum dots in PV technology
