A Supercomputing Study of Photo Voltaic Quantum Dots
Solar energy is limited by cost, while supplies of sunlight are ample, sufficient to supply domestic energy needs now and in the future. We study solar cell quantum dots with a goal to improve their price/performance. We seek basic understanding of the physical and chemical properties that regulate the operation of a photovoltaic solar cell. Above band gap localization of electrons in a coupled system consisting of a photoactive semiconductor, a ligand and a drain reveal voltage gradients that lead a photo-excited electron from the photo-active cell to the ligand and hence to the drain. The study is based on supercomputing simulations closely linked to an experimental program
