How Can Quantum Dots Be Used?
Quantum dots are so versatile that most of their applications have not yet been realized. A few in development are:
Solar cells. Solar cells made from silicon can be stable and efficient, but they are expensive to make. Solar cells that employ organic semiconductors are less expensive but suffer from poor efficiency. Quantum dots can be used to make solar cells by combining colloidal dots with organic semiconductors...
