Quantum dot crossbreed HTJ cell with 12.82% effectiveness
South Korean scientists have actually established a crossbreed tandem solar battery based upon quantum dots as well as natural mass heterojunction (BHJ) photoactive products. If they proceed to decrease power losses in the quantum dot cell and also improve near-infrared absorption, they declare that the cell might get to an effectiveness price of around 15%.
