Abstract

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) have emerged as an important class of nanocrystal materials for solar cell applications due to their outstanding properties, including tunable band gap, high charge carrier mobility, remarkable light absorption range, solution-processability, scalability, etc. The Lead (Pb)/Cadmium (Cd)-free I-III-VI QDs, designed by the reasonable chemical substitution of Pb and Cd with non-toxic elements, are booming as an attractive alternative for practical applications. This review summarizes the recent progress in designing typical I-III-VI QDs and their application in various emerging solar cell applications. The performance improvement of various solar cells due to the integration of QDs having different roles and modified device structures is summarized. In addition, the fundamentals of the I-III-VI QDs, including their crystalline structure, optical properties, and synthesis mechanisms, are described. Finally, we provide perspectives on the current status, challenges, and future directions of I-III-VI QDs-integrated solar cells.

I-III-VI胶体量子点集成太阳能电池研究进展

胶体量子点（CQDs）由于其优异的性能，包括可调带隙、高载流子迁移率、显著的光吸收范围、溶液可加工性、可扩展性等，已成为太阳能电池应用中重要的一类纳米晶体材料。利用无毒元素对铅和镉进行合理的化学替代，设计出无铅(Pb)/镉（Cd）的I-III-VI量子点，是一种极具应用前景的替代材料。本文综述了近年来典型的I-III-VI量子点的设计及其在各种新兴太阳能电池中的应用。综述了不同作用量子点的集成和器件结构的改进对各种太阳能电池性能的改善。此外，还描述了I-III-VI量子点的基本原理，包括它们的晶体结构、光学性质和合成机制。最后，对I-III-VI量子点集成太阳能电池的现状、挑战和未来发展方向进行了展望。

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science (COCIS) is an international journal that focuses on the molecular and nanoscopic aspects of colloidal systems and interfaces in various scientific and technological fields. These include materials science, biologically-relevant systems, energy and environmental technologies, and industrial applications. Unlike primary journals, COCIS primarily serves as a guide for researchers, helping them navigate through the vast landscape of recently published literature. It critically analyzes the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks and unsolved issues, and proposes future developments. Moreover, COCIS emphasizes certain areas and papers that are considered particularly interesting and significant by the Editors and Section Editors. Its goal is to provide valuable insights and updates to the research community in these specialized areas.
