Quantum cluster doped nanocrystals to manage the solar light spectrum

The Sun irradiate the Earth with multicolor light, where each color corresponds to a photon (the quantum of radiation) with different energy. All of them can be collected to produce electric power or activate chemical reactions, but the current photovoltaic and photocatalytic technologies cab exploit only a small fraction, which, in the best case, reaches one third of the total available photons.
