Quantum Dots Enhance Stability of Perovskites for Solar Power
TORONTO, May 27, 2019 — A team from the University of Toronto is researching materials that could enhance the solar-harvesting potential of silicon by absorbing wavelengths of light that silicon does not absorb. The researchers have demonstrated that perovskite crystals and quantum dots, working together, could increase the stability of solar materials. One of the challenges to using both perovskites and quantum dots is stability. At room temperature, some types of perovskites experience an adjustment in their
