Abstract
How to effectively utilize the energy of the broad spectrum of sunlight is one of the basic problems in the research of tandem solar cells. Due to their size effect, quantum confinement effect and coupling effect, colloidal quantum dots (QDs) exhibit new physical properties that bulk materials don't possess. CdX (X = Se, S, etc.) and PbX (X = Se, S, etc.) QDs prepared by hot-injection methods have been widely studied in the areas of photovolitaic devices. However, the surfactants surrounding QDs seriously hinder the charge transport of QDs based solar cells. Therefore, how to fabricate high-performance tandem solar cells via ligands engineering has become a major challenge. In this paper, the latest progress of colloidal QDs in the research of all-inorganic tandem solar cells was summarized. Firstly, the improvement of QDs surface ligands and the optimization of ligands engineering were discussed, and the control of the physical properties of QDs films were realized. From the aspects of colloidal QDs, ligand engineering, and solar cell preparation, the future development direction of colloidal QDs solar cells was proposed, providing technical guidances for the preparation of low-cost and high-efficiency nanocrystalline solar cells. Ligands engineering can passivate the surface of the quantum dot film while maintaining its conductivity, and effectively improve the performance of tandem solar cell.
