Quantum Well Applications in High-Efficiency Solar Cells

Summary/Abstract: Quantum well technology offers a significant advancement in high-efficiency solar cells by enhancing photovoltaic performance through quantum mechanical effects. These nanostructures, formed from thin semiconductor layers with varying bandgaps, confine charge carriers, improving carrier dynamics and optical properties. This enables broader-spectrum light absorption and reduced recombination losses. Quantum wells enhance the efficiency of multi-junction and thin-film solar cells and are integrated into concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) to utilize intense solar radiation. This article explores their principles, applications, and future potential, emphasizing their transformative impact on scalable, high-performance solar technologies despite challenges in fabrication and material durability
