By taking advantage of the unique qualities of colloidal quantum dots, quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) provide a viable route for next-generation energy conversion while increasing the device's adaptability and light harvesting efficiency. This research aims to thoroughly examine the possibilities and difficulties associated with QDSSCs and offer information on their applications, methods for performance optimization, and policy ramifications. To assess the state-of-the-art research on QDSSCs, the technique systematically evaluates existing literature, including peer-reviewed articles, conference proceedings, and patents. Significant discoveries highlight developments in materials design, methods for fabricating devices, and potential integrations in consumer electronics, building-integrated photovoltaics, and off-grid applications. The policy implications underscore the necessity of regulatory frameworks to tackle environmental issues, set up guidelines and certification procedures, and foster global cooperation. In summary, this research highlights the importance of QDSSCs as a viable choice for sustainable energy conversion. It advocates for cooperative endeavors to surmount obstacles and expedite their integration into the renewable energy terrain.
