Quantum dot solar cell
In a conventional solar cell light is absorbed by a semiconductor, producing an electron-hole (e-h) pair; the pair may be bound and is referred to as an exciton.This pair is separated by an internal electrochemical potential (present in p-n junctions or Schottky diodes) and the resulting flow of electrons and holes creates an electric current.

In this paper, two types of single absorber layer solar cells, Mo/p-CIS/n-CdS/Al-ZnO and Mo/p-CISSe/n-CdS/Al-ZnO, are simulated using the solar cell simulation software (SCAPS-1D), and the effect of the thickness of the absorber layer on the photovoltaic performance of the solar cells is investigated. In addition, the total thickness …
Solar Photovoltaic Cell Basics | Department of Energy
When light shines on a photovoltaic (PV) cell – also called a solar cell – that light may be reflected, absorbed, or pass right through the cell. The PV cell is composed of semiconductor material; the "semi" means that it can conduct electricity better than an insulator but not as well as a good conductor like a metal.
