Quantum dot solar cells, as a promising candidate for the next generation solar cell technology, have received tremendous attention in the last 10 years. Some recent developments in epitaxy growth and device structures have opened up new avenues for practical quantum dot solar cells. Unfortunately, the performance of quantum dot solar cells is often plagued by marginal photon absorption. In this review, we focus on the recent progress made in enhancing optical absorption in quantum dot solar cells, including optimization of quantum dot growth, improving the solar cells structure, and engineering light trapping techniques.
量子点太阳能电池作为下一代太阳能电池技术的一个有前景的候选者，在过去十年中受到了极大的关注。外延生长和器件结构方面的一些最新进展为实用的量子点太阳能电池开辟了新途径。不幸的是，量子点太阳能电池的性能常常受到边缘光子吸收的困扰。在这篇综述中，我们关注在增强量子点太阳能电池光吸收方面取得的最新进展，包括量子点生长的优化、改善太阳能电池结构以及设计光捕获技术。
