Core-shell nanocrystals are utilized to improve vitality conversion efficiency of Si based solar cells. In the present work, a study of synthesis and characterization of photo luminescent, down-shifting, core-shell CdSe/CdS quantum dots is introduced. The QD,s absorb in the UV range (350nm) of the solar spectrum and emit photons with wavelengths centered at (574 nm). Calculated energy gap is (2.16 eV), which is well suited for Silicon absorption and electron-hole pair generation. The grain size is ranged between (1.814 and 3.456 nm). Results show that the cell efficiency is improved from (8.81%) (For a reference silicon solar cell) to (10.07%) (For a CdSe/CdS QD deposited directly on the surface of the solar cell). This improvement is referred to the spreading of the absorbed solar radiation over the spectral response of the Si solar cell.
