Problems solved by technology

Although I-II-Vi semiconductors have high conversion efficiency in thin-film solar cells (P.Jackson et al., M.Prog.Photovolt: Res.Appl.2011, 19, 894), the ternary chalcogen The efficiency of sensitized solar cells with compound as a single sensitizer is still relatively low, and current research mainly focuses on co-sensitization with other types of narrow-bandgap semiconductors.
