Graphene based quantum dots may lead to cheap and efficient solar cells and OLED displays

Scientists from the National Physical Laboratory in New Delhi, India developed graphene based quantum dots (GQDs) blended with organic polymers that can be used in new photovoltaics (solar) cells. This may solve the problem of toxic metals (cadmium and lead) used in today's quantum dots, and the new material is also more stable then current organic materials.

The GQDs are 9-nm in size have similar electronic properties to normal QDs, and actually perform better (less current loss and improved efficiency) because of graphene's high charge carrier mobility. This work could lead to light-weight, flexible and cheap panels - used in large-area roll-to-roll manufacturing. In fact they say that these GQDs may also be used in other applications such as OLED displays, and indeed the team fabricated OLEDs using the new material - with "good performance".

Really a great performance from indian scientists. Apart from that, they have avoided using some toxic materials like cadmium and lead. This may solve the problem of power problem in the near future. HATS OF TO OUR SCIENTISTS OF NPL

Welcome

Welcome! Nanopaprika was cooked up by Hungarian chemistry PhD student in 2007. The main idea was to create something more personal than the other nano networks already on the Internet. Community is open to everyone from post-doctorial researchers and professors to students everywhere.

There is only one important assumption: you have to be interested in nano!
