dot size, it influences energy levels and band gaps [22]. Dots are grownup with different sizes and influencing band gaps without effecting materials and building techniques [8]. Different blending duration and temperatures affect wet chemistry preparations. Solar cells needed quantum dots for adjusting band gap. In conventional methods of adjusting band gap, using lead sulfide as mono junction implementation is difficult [2]. Half of the solar energy attained to the earth surface is mostly near to the infrared region. The quantum dot PV cells makes infrared reachable [9].
