Detailed balance analysis and enhancement of open-circuit voltage in single-nanowire solar cells.
We present a detailed balance analysis of current density-voltage modeling of a single-nanowire solar cell. Our analysis takes into account intrinsic material nonidealities in order to determine the theoretical efficiency limit of the single-nanowire solar cell. The analysis only requires the nanowire's absorption cross-section over all angles, which can be readily calculated analytically. We s...
متن کاملPolymer solar cells with enhanced open-circuit voltage and efficiency
Following the development of the bulk heterojunction1 structure, recent years have seen a dramatic improvement in the efficiency of polymer solar cells. Maximizing the open-circuit voltage in a low-bandgap polymer is one of the critical factors towards enabling high-efficiency solar cells. Study of the relation between open-circuit voltage and the energy levels of the donor/acceptor2 in bulk he...
متن کاملA benzotrithiophene - based low band gap polymer for polymer solar cells with high open - circuit voltage †
novel electron-rich fused aromatic unit, namely benzo[1,2-b:3,4b’:5,6-d’’]trithiophene (BTT), which holds promise as a building block for semiconductor materials. In comparison with the wellknown benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b’]dithiophene (BDT), quantumchemical calculations (B3LYP/6-31G*) predict the BTT unit to 40 be of similar donor strength. Thus, with R being alkyl chains, BTT is predicted to act as a ...

متن کاملOpen-Circuit Voltage Physics in Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells
We have performed computer calculations to explore effects of the p/i interface on the opencircuit voltage in a-Si:H based pin solar cells. The principal conclusions are that interface limitation can occur for values of VOC significantly below the built-in potential VBI of a cell, and that the effects can be understood in terms of thermionic emission of electrons from the intrinsic layer into t...
