Abstract： Photovoltaic (PV) is no doubt one of the leading technologies under enormous growth in recent years to address the growing issues of global warming, climate change and energy shortage. Along with the ongoing research activities and industry developments to reduce the cost of conventional PV devices such as Si-based solar cells, a lot of research efforts have now been focused on exploring new concepts and approaches for high efficiency solar cells. The fast emerging nanotechnology has opened up great opportunities to produce solar cells with lower cost and/or improved performance by employing the unique properties of nanostructures, such as self-assembled
quantum dots (QDs) and nanowires (NWs).
In this talk, I will introduce our research activities at the Australian National University in developing high efficiency PV devices based on III-V compound semiconductor QDs and NWs. I will discuss the basic concepts, current limitations, and future
prospects for these two types of solar cell devices for high
efficiency solar cell applications.
