A brief review of perovskite quantum dot solar cells:Synthesis, property and defect passivation

Perovskite quantum dot solar cells (PQDSCs), as the promising candidate for the next generation of solar cell, have garnered the significant attention over the past decades. However, the performance and stability of PQDSCs are highly dependent on the properties of interfaces between the perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) and the other layers in the device. This work provides a brief overview of PQDSCs, including the synthesis of PQDs, the characteristics and preparation methods of PQDs, the photoelectric properties as the light absorption layer and optimization methods for PQDSCs with high efficiency. Future directions and potential applications are also highlighted.
