“…Quantum dots (QDs) are promising materials for OPVs because of the possibility of band gap manipulation through size variation of an individual crystal; NIR band gaps are now viable 58–60. Hybrid solar cells using inorganic semiconducting nanoparticles, such as TiO 2 , ZnO, CuInS 2 , PbSe, CdSe and CdTe, as sensitizers have been investigated, and the use of QDs as an additive in binary solar cells was briefly discussed 60…”

Power conversion efficiencies in excess of 7% have been achieved with bulk heterojunction (BHJ)-type organic solar cells using two components: p- and n-doped materials. The energy level and absorption profile of the active layer can be tuned by introduction of an additional component. Careful design of the additional component is required to achieve optimal panchromatic absorption, suitable energy-level offset, balanced electron and hole mobility, and good light-harvesting efficiency. This article reviews the recent progress on ternary organic photovoltaic systems, including polymer/small molecule/functional fullerene, polymer/polymer/functional fullerene, small molecule/small molecule/functional fullerene, polymer/functional fullerene I/functional fullerene II, and polymer/quantum dot or metal/functional fullerene systems.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] However, the complicated synthetic technique and high-cost raw materials limited their further commercialization. Very recently, organometal halide perovskites (CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 , X=Cl, Br and I) have drawn extensive attention due to their breakthrough in solar energy conversion, and nearly 20% power conversion efficiency has already been reported.…”

Size-tunable organometal halide perovskite CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 quantum dots (QDs) were successfully synthesized by a simple surfactant-assisted reprecipitation technique, in which the size-tunability was realized by varying the molar ratios of methylammonium bromide (CH 3 NH 3 Br) to PbBr 2 while the total amount of octylamine (OTAm) and CH 3 NH 3 Br remained unchanged. The diameters of CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 QDs could be effectively tuned from 1.6 to 3.9 nm, and these QDs exhibited an obviously size-dependent optical properties, whose photoluminescence (PL) covered the spectral region from 440 to 530 nm and the emission width was 20-32 nm. The maximum absolute PL quantum yield (PLQY) was measured to be as high as approximately 80% at room temperature. A plausible formation mechanism was proposed and the quantum confinement effect was discussed based on effective mass approximation. Moreover, this synthetic approach could also be extended to prepare different halide perovskite QDs including CH 3 NH 3 PbCl x Br 3-x and CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3-x I x (x=1～3), which realized the color-tunability over the entire visible spectral region of 390-750 nm. The size-and compositional-tunable emission colors of organometal perovskite QDs endows them wide potential applications in next-generation optoelectronic devices.

Hybrid solar cells based on conjugated polymers and inorganic semiconducting nanoparticles combine beneficial properties of organic and inorganic semiconductors and are, therefore, an exciting alternative to pure organic or inorganic solar cell technologies. Several approaches for the fabrication of hybrid solar cells are already elaborated and explored. In the last years routes have emerged, where the nanoparticles are prepared directly in the matrix of the conjugated polymer. Here, the conjugated polymer prevents the nanoparticles from excessive growth and thereby makes additional capping agents obsolete. This review focuses on in situ preparation methods of inorganic semiconducting nanoparticles in conjugated polymers in view of applications in hybrid solar cells. The details, advantages and disadvantages of the different in situ methods are critically examined and put in comparison to the classical route where pre-synthesized nanoparticles are used. Various key factors influencing the solar cell performance as well as future strategies for increasing the overall efficiency of hybrid solar cells prepared via in situ routes are discussed.
