摘要：

Quantum dot intermediate band solar cell (QD-IBSC) has high efficiency theoretically. It can absorb photons with energy lower than the bandgap of the semiconductor through the half-filled intermediate band, extending the absorption spectrum of the cell. However, issues in the IBSC, such as the strain around multi-stacking QDs, low thermal excitation energy, and short carrier lifetime, lead to its low conversion efficiency. In recent years, many efforts have been made from different aspects. In this paper, we focus on In(Ga)As QD-IBSC, list the experimental technologies used to improve the performance of the cell and review the recent research progress. By analyzing the effects of different technologies on conversion efficiency, the development direction of the In(Ga)As QD-IBSC in the future is proposed.
