Researchers restore the performance of quantum dot perovskite solar cells as if flattening crumpled paper

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/10/241003221524.htm

"ligands attached to quantum dot surface must be replaced to utilize in solar cells, but crumples quantum dot surface, solved using short amphiphilic ligands securely holding quantum dots from both sides... efficiency increased to 15.3%, stability increased (maintaining 83% of performance for 15 days), lifetime inceased... easy to mass-produce"
