title: Predicted photoreflectance signatures on QD selective contacts for hot carrier solar cells creator: Cánovas Díaz, Enrique creator: Martí Vega, Antonio creator: García-Linares Fontes, Pablo creator: Antolín Fernández, Elisa creator: Fuertes Marrón, David creator: Tablero Crespo, César creator: Luque López, Antonio subject: Renewable Energy subject: Electronics description: The CO2 emission of our present energy transformation processes, based mainly on burning fossil fuels, is possibly the main cause of global climatic change. The photovoltaic conversion of solar energy is a clean way of producing which for sustainability should (and most probably will) become a major source of electricity. The sun is a huge resource but relatively diluted and it is reasonable to expect that only high efficiency extraction can be cost effective for mass exploitation. New concepts are neccessary such as hot carrier solar cells. publisher: E.T.S.I.
