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 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 کاملQuantum Dot Solar Cells: High Efficiency through Multiple Exciton Generation
Impact ionization is a process in which absorbed photons in semiconductors that are at least twice the bandgap can produce multiple electron-hole pairs. For single-bandgap photovoltaic devices, this effect produces greatly enhanced theoretical thermodynamic conversion efficiencies that range from 45 85%, depending upon solar concentration, the cell temperature, and the number of electron-hole p...
متن کاملEfficiency Optimization in a Rainbow Quantum Dot Solar Cell
In this paper, we have calculated the efficiency and I-V characteristic of a Quantum Dot (QD) Solar Cell (SC) based on multi-stacked different-sized InGaN QDs on GaN substrate. In order to engineering the confinement states of QDs, we have inserted differentsized QDs in i-region of a p-i-n structure which includes different layers. This leads to Rainbow SCs.
متن کاملIntroducing nanostructure patterns for performance enhancement in PbS colloidal quantum dot solar cells
With attention to the thin film structure of colloidal quantum dot solar cells, in this paper in order to improvement of active layer absorption of them, we have proposed the use of nanostructure pattern for enhancement of their performance. For this purpose we have presented suitable nano hemisphare patterns in colloidal quantum dot solar cells for light trapping in absorption layer. Then with...
