Efficiency enhancement in a lensed nanowire solar cell
The nano-concentration improves both the short-circuit current (J s c) and the open-circuit voltage (V o c) of the solar cell. For this purpose, polymethyl methacrylate microlenses with 6 μm diameter were randomly positioned on top of an arrayed nanowire solar cell with 500 nm pitch. The microlenses were fabricated by first patterning ...

Perovskite solar cells
Multi-junction solar cells To eventually surpass the 33.7% Shockley-Queisser limit for single solar cells junctions a well-knows strategy is to stack multiple cells with different band gaps. Obviously this requires absorber layers with different band gaps. We investigate both perovskite-perovskite and perovskite-silicon tandem cells in two ...

Solar Cell: Working Principle & Construction (Diagrams Included)
A solar cell functions similarly to a junction diode, but its construction differs slightly from typical p-n junction diodes.A very thin layer of p-type semiconductor is grown on a relatively thicker n-type semiconductor.We then apply a few finer electrodes on the top of the p-type semiconductor layer.. These electrodes do not obstruct light to reach the thin p-type layer.

Boosting solar cell photovoltage via nanophotonic engineering
Approaching the theoretically limiting open circuit voltage (V-oc) of solar cells is crucial to optimize their photovoltaic performance. Here, we demonstrate experimentally that nanostructured layers can achieve a fundamentally larger Fermi level splitting, and thus a larger V-oc, than planar layers. By etching tapered nanowires from planar ...
