← ScienceWhich constraint reduces efficiency in photovoltaic cells utilising quantum dots?
A)Auger recombination increases loss rate✓
B)Photon momentum imparts lattice vibration
C)Phonon scattering impacts waveform coherence
D)Surface plasmons inhibit light trapping
💡 Explanation
Auger recombination dominates because it becomes a significant non-radiative, multi-particle process within quantum dots when multiple electron-hole pairs are present from high-energy photons; therefore causing lower efficiency, rather than the plasmon effects.
