With the increased interest in quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) there comes a
need to better understand how surface modification of quantum dots (QDs) can affect the …

Ternary and quaternary chalcopyrite-type nanocrystals of MIMIIIE2 and MIMIIIZnE2 type (MI=
Ag, Cu; MIII= In, Fe; E= S, Se) and their core/shell structures have attracted a huge interest in …

Organic ligands have the potential to contribute to the reduction potential, or lowest
unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy, of semiconductor nanocrystals. Rationally …

Solution-processed hybrid solar cells, a blend of conjugated polymers and semiconducting
nanocrystals, are a promising candidate for next-generation energy-conversion devices. The …

In this review the use of solution-processed chalcogenide quantum dots (CdS, CdSe, PbS,
etc.) in hybrid organic–inorganic solar cells is explored. Such devices are known as …

Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells have the potential to make a significant contribution to the
