The Intermediate Band Solar Cell: Progress Toward the Realization of an Attractive Concept [PDF]
The intermediate band (IB) solar cell has been proposed to increase the current of solar cells while at the same time preserving the output voltage in order to produce an efficiency that ideally is above the limit established by Shockley and Queisser in ...

Characterization of tandem organic solar cells [PDF]
The tandem solar cell approach is a promising concept for organic photovoltaics (OPVs). However, efficiency determination or, in general, electrical characterization of multi-junction solar cells is challenging. We performed a literature survey of publications reporting tandem OPV characterizations over the period January 2009 to September 2014 and ...
