The interface VOC loss between the active layer and the hole transport layer (HTL) of lead sulfide colloidal quantum dot (PbS-CQD) solar cells is a significant factor influencing the efficiency improvement of PbS colloidal quantum dot solar cells (PbS-CQDSCs).

Individual solar cells can be combined to form modules commonly known as solar panels. The common single junction silicon solar cell can produce a maximum open-circuit voltage of approximately 0.5 to 0.6 volts. By itself this isn''t much – but remember these solar cells are tiny.
The open-circuit voltage, also known as VOC, represents the highest voltage that can be obtained from a solar cell.

An equivalent circuit model of an ideal solar cell''s p–n junction uses an ideal current source (whose photogenerated current increases with light intensity) in parallel with a diode (whose current represents recombination losses).

The efficiency of a solar cell defines how much solar energy can be converted into electricity and strongly depends on the solar cell''s open-circuit voltage . The latter is a quantity that is dictated by the charge carrier recombination activity within the semiconducting absorber of the solar cell.
