Abstract
The sustainable development of human depends upon the clever use of natural resources. In this regard the renewable energy resources are very important for our energy demand. Various research groups are working to develop efficient, economical, and practical solar energy harnessing devices. The use of solar cells is commercially encouraged worldwide. Although, silicon based solar cells are commonly in use but they have some draw backs associated to them regarding with cost and manufacturing processes. In the present time, Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC), Perovskite Sensitized Solar Cells (PSSCs) and Quantum Dot Solar Cells (QDSSC) are new techniques which have some advantages over silicon based solar cells. Although, there are some limitations also associated with them. The present paper deals with the historical context, present development, structural information, working mechanism, limitations, advantages and future research trends of quantum dot and perovskite sensitized solar cells.
