Quantum Dot Efficiency: Unlocking Multi-Exciton Generation
Unlocking the Sun's Potential: A Dive into Multiple Exciton Generation (MEG) in Quantum Dots The quest for efficient solar energy conversion is a race against time. As we grapple with the urgent need to transition to sustainable energy sources, scientists are tirelessly exploring new avenues to improve the performance of solar cells. One promising avenue lies in harnessing the unique properties of quantum dots – nanoscale semiconductor crystals that hold immense potential for boosting solar energy efficiency. At the heart of this innovation lies a fascinating phenomenon called Multiple Exciton Generation (MEG). Unlike conventional solar cells that generate only one electron-hole pair per absorbed photon, MEG enables quantum dots to create multiple excitons (electron-hole pairs) with a single photon.
