Strong optical absorption by a semiconductor is a highly desirable property for many optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications. The optimal thickness of a semiconductor absorber is primarily determined by its absorption ...

AgBiS2 nanocrystals have recently emerged as a RoHS compliant material for photovoltaics. This heavy-metal-free ternary chalcogenide can be prepared from earth-abundant precursors, is solution-processable and presents a ...

Silver bismuth sulfide nanocrystals (AgBiS2 NCs) are emerging absorber materials for low-cost solar cells, owing to their solution-processability, environmentally friendliness, earth abundance, and high absorption coefficients. ...

Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) technology is considered the main contender toward a low-cost high-performance optoelectronic technology platform for applications in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) to enable 3D imaging, LIDAR ...

Heavy-metal-free colloidal nanocrystals are gaining due attention as low-cost, semiconducting materials for solution-processed optoelectronic applications. One common limitation of such materials is their limited carrier ...
