Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) have attracted attention as a next-generation of photovoltaics (PVs) capable of a tunable band gap and low-cost solution process. Understanding and controlling the surface of CQDs lead to the significant development in the performance of CQD PVs.
Gel batteries are one of the most popular and reliable options in solar energy systems. These types of batteries, which use an electrolyte in gel form instead of liquid, have gained ground in solar applications due to their unique characteristics that make them suitable for storing electricity generated by solar panels. What are gel batteries?
At present the power conversion efficiencies of colloidal quantum dot solar cells are about 5%. Further research is needed in this area to screen potential systems which could provide a roadmap for the design of super efficient solar cells.
Gel batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that uses an electrolyte in gel form instead of liquid. This gel is composed of sulfuric acid, water and silica, and is thicker than the liquid electrolyte used in conventional lead-acid batteries. The gel acts as a medium to transport electrical charges between the battery's electrodes.
At present, the widely used solar batteries are mainly lead-acid maintenance-free batteries and colloidal batteries. Because of their inherent “maintenance-free” characteristics and less pollution to the environment, these two types of batteries are very suitable for reliable solar power supply systems, especially unattended workstations.
