Metal chalcogenide quantum dots (QDs) and lead halide perovskites are two types of prospective light harvesters for mesoscopic solar cells. The two most promising QD sensitizers are PbS and Sb2S3, for which the PCEs of their corresponding QDSCs have attained ∼7% in 2012. In 2013, the performance of a TiO2 solar cell sensitized with lead-iodide perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) was optimized to attain an overall power conversion efficiency of 15%, which is a new milestone for solar cells of this type, with a device structure similar to that of a dye-sensitized solar cell.
