Abstract

This review paper reports the advantage of using nanomaterials in the solar cell. Initially silicon material is used in the working of silicon solar cell. The reason behind low conversion efficiency is due to the usage of silicon material. To overcome this problem quantum dot which is the nano material is used in the solar cell. Due to the usage of quantum dot which has multi junction band gap the conversion efficiency of the solar cell gets increased. Preparation of the quantum dot and the materials used in it is discussed. Also the comparison between classical solar cell and quantum dot solar cell is reviewed.
