Intermediate band solar cell with extreme broadband spectrum quantum efficiency.
We report, for the first time, about an intermediate band solar cell implemented with InAs/AlGaAs quantum dots whose photoresponse expands from 250 to ∼6000 nm. To our knowledge, this is the broadest quantum efficiency reported to date for a solar cell and demonstrates that the intermediate band solar cell is capable of producing photocurrent when illuminated with photons whose energy equals t...
متن کاملEvaluation of the efficiency potential of intermediate band solar cells based on thin-film chalcopyrite materials
This paper discusses the potential of the intermediate band solar cell IBSC concept to improve the efficiency of thin-film chalcopyrite solar cells. The results show that solar cells based on CuGaS2, with a radiative limiting efficiency of 46.7%, exhibit the highest potential. A simple method for the identification of transition elements that when incorporated in CuGaS2 could possibly introduce...
متن کاملOptical Characterization of Quantum Dot Intermediate Band Solar Cells
In this paper we present an optical characterization for quantum dot intermediate band solar cells (QDIBSCs). The cells were developed by growing a stack of ten InAs/GaAs QDs layers between p and n doped GaAs conventional emitters. Electroluminescence, EL, photoreflectance, PR, and transmission electron microscopy, TEM, were applied to the samples in order to test and characterize them opticall...
متن کاملBand structure of compensated n-i-p-i superlattices.
The band structure of compensated n-i-p-i doping superlattices has been investigated for the first time by using the multistep-potential approach as the real potential form and by using numerical calculations. The dispersion of compensated n-i-p-i superlattices is shown to be stronger than that of compositional superlattices. The Srst three allowed conduction minibands and forbidden rninigaps a...
متن کاملImproved conversion efficiency of Ag2S quantum dot-sensitized solar cells based on TiO2 nanotubes with a ZnO recombination barrier layer
We improve the conversion efficiency of Ag2S quantum dot (QD)-sensitized TiO2 nanotube-array electrodes by chemically depositing ZnO recombination barrier layer on plain TiO2 nanotube-array electrodes. The optical properties, structural properties, compositional analysis, and photoelectrochemistry properties of prepared electrodes have been investigated. It is found that for the prepared electr...
