Sumario:In the modern and automated twenty-first century, with technological advancements, the scientific society has gifted a new alternative clean energy source (dye/quantum dot sensitized solar cells) to mankind as one of the applications of nanomaterials. Nowadays, the world is using a tremendous amount of fossil fuel for energy creation, the solar energy by using nanomaterials in the form of solar cells is a perfect alternative. In the present chapter, the emphasis has been given on the different techniques used by the researcher for synthesis of nanoparticles. The synthesis of quantum dots by simple cost-effective technique is covered with respect to PbS quantum dots. The working of quantum dot sensitized solar cells is also explained with its basic components. The narrow-band-gap semiconducting materials, which are suitable for solar cell application, are also listed in this context.
