## Extra ideas
## Quantum Dots
Quantum dot sensitised solar cells (QDSSCs) are a variation of this design in which colloidal quantum dots (QDs) replace the organic dye. A number of the properties of QDs make them well-suited to the role of photoabsorber. In particular, they have a band gap that can often be size-tuned to optimise exploitation of the solar spectrum; they are photo-stable and highly absorbing; and they can in some cases exhibit multiple exciton generation. This process has the potential to enable the Shockley–Queisser (SQ) limit of solar cell efficiency to be exceeded. \cite{McElroy_2014}
The most efficient device was sensitised by the CdTe/CdSe QDs, largely due to its significantly greater short-circuit current density, \( J_{SC}\), which is more than double that of the
CdSe/CdTe sensitised devices.
## Solar concetrators
\( \zeta_{SQ} \) can be improved by the use of concentrators, many of the inefficiencies get toned down in the presence of concentrators. Increased sun ligth also creates increases Auger processes so a balance must be made. By simultaneously optimizing both objectives an increase of 2-3% in total efficency can be made.
## Double heterostructures (DH)
A novel approach to use wide bandgap II-VI semiconductors and a thin crystalline CdTe to form a double-heterostructure solar cell thas shown to improve manufacturing cost and long term stability.
Work has been done with CdTe, MgCdTe and ZnTe DH.
Measurements on CdTe/MgCdTe DH have shown carrier lifetimes of more than one order of magnitude longer than that of polycrystalline CdTe films.\cite{Zhao_2014}
