Indoor Photovoltaics Enabled by Wide-Bandgap Perovskite Quantum Dots

该项目旨在开发一种高效的室内光伏(PV)技术，在数十亿美元的物联网(IoT)市场中提供可靠的低成本电力。目前还没有满足室内照明下最大运行效率要求的设备。我们建议通过使用胶体钙钛矿量子点来制造光伏电池来解决这个问题，这种量子点在所需的范围内提供了一流的稳定性和带隙可调，从而实现了量子限制。其结果是集成的自给式物联网设备的开发可能会影响能源、网络安全、食品和农业业务的先进制造业增长，因为所有这些最终都将依赖于联网的智能设备。

This project aims to develop a high-efficiency indoor photovoltaic (PV) technology to provide reliable low-cost power in the multi-billion dollar “Internet of Things” (IoT) market. There are currently no devices that meet the requirements for maximum operating efficiency under indoor illumination. We propose to solve this problem by fabricating PV cells using colloidal perovskite quantum dots that offer class-leading stability and band gap tunability across the required range, enabled by quantum confinement. The outcome is the development of integrated self-powered IoT devices potentially impacting Advanced Manufacturing growth in Energy, Cyber Security, Food and Agribusiness, as all of these will ultimately rely on networked smart devices.
