Absorption enhancement in ultrathin crystalline silicon solar cells with antireflection and light-trapping nanocone gratings.
Enhancing the light absorption in ultrathin-film silicon solar cells is important for improving efficiency and reducing cost. We introduce a double-sided grating design, where the front and back surfaces of the cell are separately optimized for antireflection and light trapping, respectively. The optimized structure yields a photocurrent of 34.6 mA/cm(2) at an equivalent thickness of 2 μm, clos...
متن کاملTrapping Light in Organic Plastic Solar Cells with integrated Diffraction Gratings
In this paper we investigate the potential of light trapping with diffraction gratings for organic solar cells. The architecture of the solar cell is based on conjugated polymers and a buckminsterfullerene derivative (PCBM), forming an interpenetrating donor-acceptor-network. The motivation for light trapping is the small absorptance of the photoactive polymer in the range of the solar spectrum...
متن کاملTrapping Light With Mirrors
We show that, given finitely many line-segment mirrors in the plane, that do not touch, and an arbitrary point source of light, if all angles made by lines parallel to mirrors are rational multiples of π, then all but countably many emitted light beams escape. This result is shown to imply that, for a given point source of light, a randomly chosen configuration of finitely many nontouching line...
متن کاملLight trapping design for low band-gap polymer solar cells.
We demonstrate numerically a 2-D nanostructured design for light trapping in a low band-gap polymer solar cell. Finite element method simulations are used to study the effect of varying nanostructure periodicity, height, and shape on active layer absorption. Maintaining a constant active layer thickness of 100 nm we observe an enhancement in solar absorption of almost 40% relative to a planar c...
متن کاملTransparent polymer solar cells employing a layered light-trapping architecture
Organic solar cells have unique properties that make them very attractive as a renewable energy source. Of particular interest are semi-transparent cells, which have the potential to be integrated into building façades yet not completely block light. However, making organic cells transparent limits the metal electrode thickness to a few nanometres, drastically reducing its reflectivity and the ...
