Synthesis of Si and CdTe quantum dots and their combined use as down-shifting photoluminescent centers in Si solar cells

Abstract This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of Si and CdTe quantum dots (QDs) and their use, either on their own or combined, as photoluminescent (PL) down-shifting nanostructured coatings aimed to enhance the photovoltaic efficiency of polycrystalline silicon solar cells. To th...
