Design of Multijunction Photovoltaic Cells Optimized for Varied Atmospheric Conditions [PDF]

International Journal of Photoenergy, 2014
Band gap engineering provides an opportunity to not only provide higher overall conversion efficiencies of the reference AM1.5 spectra but also customize PV device design for specific geographic locations and microenvironments based on atmospheric conditions characteristic to that particular location. Indium gallium nitride and other PV materials offer

Efficiency increase in multijunction monochromatic photovoltaic devices due to luminescent coupling [PDF]

Journal of Applied Physics, 2020
We present a multijunction detailed-balance model that includes the effects of luminescent coupling, light trapping, and nonradiative recombination, suitable for the treatment of multijunction solar cells and photonic power converters—photovoltaic devices designed to convert the narrow-band light.

Steering perovskite precursor solutions for multijunction photovoltaics

Nature
Abstract Multijunction photovoltaics (PVs) are gaining prominence owing to their superior capability of achieving power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) beyond the radiative limit of single-junction cells1–8, for which improving narrow-bandgap (NBG) tin–lead perovskites is critical for thin-film devices9. Here, with a focus on understanding the

Beyond Earth: Resilience of Quasi‐2D Perovskite Solar Cells in Space

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In the article (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202520433), Christoph Putz and co‐workers demonstrate rigid quasi‐2D perovskite solar cells operating in low Earth orbit, delivering stable power for more than 100 days under real‐space conditions. In‐orbit performance is correlated with extensive ground‐based thermal and proton‐irradiation studies on rigid and ...

Defect Dynamics and Solution‐Processed Interconnects in Perovskite‐Organic Tandem Solar Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we identify the underlying cause of efficiency losses in WBG perovskites, which is ascribed to the presence of mobile defects distributed at surface regions. We further employ effective passivation agent with functional chemical groups to facilitate the healing of the mobile defects, thereby enhancing the VOC to 1.35 V and champion ...

Advancing Energy Materials by In Situ Atomic Scale Methods

Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 11, March 18, 2025.
Progress in in situ atomic scale methods leads to an improved understanding of new and advanced energy materials, where a local understanding of complex, inhomogeneous systems or interfaces down to the atomic scale and quantum level is required. Topics from photovoltaics, dissipation losses, phase transitions, and chemical energy conversion are ...

How Halide Segregation Governs the Ion Density Evolution and Ionic Performance Losses: From Degradation to Recovery

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Halide segregation (HS) in mixed‐halide wide‐bandgap (WBG) perovskites is key to the stability of perovskite‐based tandem cells and a central focus of large‐scale research efforts. Here, we find that the underlying reason for the poor stability of cells prone to HS is enhanced ionic losses during operation. Furthermore, we identified irreversible ionic
