Multiple-exciton generation in lead selenide nanorod solar cells with external quantum efficiencies exceeding 120%

Multiple-exciton generation—a process in which multiple charge-carrier pairs are generated from a single optical excitation—is a promising way to improve the photocurrent in photovoltaic devices and offers the potential to break the Shockley–Queisser limit. One-dimensional nanostructures, for exampl...
