Overcoming efficiency and cost barriers for large-area quantum dot photovoltaics through stable ink engineering

Nature Energy, Published online: 07 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41560-025-01746-4The instability of quantum dot inks hinders the scaling up of colloidal quantum dot electronics. Now, Shi and team stabilize the inks with an iodine-rich environment in a weakly coordinating solvent, achieving 13.4% in small-area solar cells and over 10% in modules.
