Abstract

Recent progress in photovoltaic (PV) cell usage has been hindered due to a shortage of suitable materials that emit adequate wavelengths of light energy and convert it to electricity. Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) and quantum dot solar cells (QDSCs) have been identified as promising artificial light sources and PV cell types to nicely fit into this solution, not only complying with that but also being controllable, flexible, portable, and lightweight. The purpose of this study is to provide a review of the application of how QLEDs can be collected for QDSCs. First, we introduce QLEDs as artificial light sources, briefly outline their mechanics and benefits, and compare them to other light sources for QDSC harvesting. Then, we summarize the mechanisms that occur when a QDSC absorbs a photon from a QLED, as well as how these energy flow pathways influence artificial light energy harvest. Finally, we explore the optoelectronic properties of lead sulphide (PbS) and lead selenide (PbSe) as appropriate quantum dots (QDs) materials for current applications in QDSC and QLED technologies. We anticipate that the literature will be comprehensive and relevant to the scientific community interested in creating artificial light energy harvesting and thus researching the most recent alternative method of getting healthy energy.
