Electromagnetic approach to ultrathin solar cell efficiencies [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
Current methods for evaluating solar cell efficiencies cannot be applied to extremely thin cells where phenomena from the realm of near field optics prevail. We overcome this problem by offering a rigorous electromagnetic calculation of solar cell efficiencies based on the fluctuation dissipation theorem. Our approach is demonstrated by calculating the

Porous silicon solar cells [PDF]

2015 IEEE 15th International Conference on Nanotechnology (IEEE-NANO), 2015
We developed a new architecture of crystalline solar cell, based on an ultrathin silicon membrane, taking advantage of the technology of porous silicon. The architecture consists of a macro-porous membrane, offering deeply textured surface, capable to efficiently capture the impinging light, absorbed it in the porous structure, and delivering the photo-

High‐Performance Low‐Emissivity Paints Enabled by N‐Doped Poly(benzodifurandione) (n‐PBDF) for Energy‐Efficient Buildings

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a scalable and colored low‐emissivity (low‐e) paint achieved by spraying an ultrathin n‐doped poly(benzodifurandione) (n‐PBDF) coating onto various colored substrates. The low‐e paint enhances thermal regulation by reducing mid‐infrared thermal emissivity to 0.19, thereby stabilizing indoor temperatures across diverse climates ...

Solar cell system having alternating current output [PDF]

, 1980
A monolithic multijunction solar cell was modified by fabricating an integrated circuit inverter on the back of the cell to produce a device capable of generating an alternating current output. In another embodiment, integrated curcuit power conditioning

Extended thermal admittance spectroscopy for the investigation of composition-dependent meta-stability behaviours in wide-gap (Ag,Cu)(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells

JPhys Energy
In this contribution, voltage- and temperature-dependent admittance spectroscopy is used in concert with other electrical characterisation techniques to gain insight into composition-dependent variations in the meta-stable behaviour of the (Ag,Cu)(In,Ga ...

Off‐Stoichiometry Engineering of the Electrical and Optical Properties of SrNbO3 Using Oxide Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The plasma edge of transparent conducting oxide SrNbO3 shifts from ∼2 eV in the visible range to 1.37 eV in the near‐infrared region by off‐stoichiometry using the vacancy sites as quasi‐substitutional virtual elements. This work advances the stoichiometry engineering of perovskite oxides using oxide molecular beam epitaxy, allowing synthesis beyond ...

Switching From Acceptor to FRET Donor: How the Organic Solar Cell Architecture Can Change the Role of a Chromophore

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The non‐fullerene acceptor o‐IDT‐BT‐DCV is used in both binary and ternary blends to investigate the role that it plays in each device architecture. The charge generation pathways are found to differ between the binary and ternary blends with o‐IDT‐BT‐DCV becoming a second donor in the ternary blend.

Analysis Of SnS2 Buffer Layer And SnS Back Surface Layer Based CZTS Solar Cells Using SCAPS [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
A Copper-Zinc-Tin-Sulphide (CZTS)based solar cell with a modified ce3ll configuration of Mo/SnS/CZTS/SnS2/ZnO is simulated using SCAPS. An SnS2 buffer layer is used in simulation instead of the standard CdS layer. An additional back surface passivation layer of SnS is added in the modified cell configuration. An improvement in the solar cell efficiency

Interfacial Contact Engineering Enables Giant‐Performance Semiconductor Nanomembrane Optoelectronic Devices

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work investigates modifying interfacial contacts in realizing giant‐performance semiconductor nanomembrane optoelectronics. Strategies, including surface reaction and buffer layer work‐function modulation, are explored to boost the Schottky barrier. An emerging material of YbOx is utilized for near‐ideal Ohmic contact.
