"Our developed technology has achieved an impressive 18.1% efficiency in QD solar cells," stated Professor Jang. "This remarkable achievement represents the highest efficiency among quantum dot solar cells recognized by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the United States."
A groundbreaking research breakthrough in solar energy has propelled the development of the world's most efficient quantum dot (QD) solar cell, marking a significant leap towards the commercialization of next-generation solar cells.
This breakthrough enables the creation of a photoactive layer of QDs for solar cells with high substitution efficiency and controlled defects. Consequently, the efficiency of organic PQDs, previously limited to 13% using existing ligand substitution technology, has been significantly improved to 18.1%.
Chemistry is a classic opportunity for quantum simulation precisely because of the quantum nature of molecular dynamics 5. Presentations at our workshop discussed methods for using quantum computers to explore the semiconductor physics that underlie solar cells as well as catalysts to assist in carbon capture technologies.
The applications represented in the workshop were similarly diverse. One of the most popular, and promising in the very near-term, is chemistry. Chemistry is a classic opportunity for quantum simulation precisely because of the quantum nature of molecular dynamics 5.
Participants ranged from government (the Department of Energy and attendees from two national laboratories) to the quantum industry (Qubit Engineering and Zapata Computing), academia (University of Kentucky, University of Denver) and established players in the energy space (such as Commonwealth Edison, GE Renewable Energy and ExxonMobil).
