Light trapping in a polymer solar cell by tailored quantum dot emission.
We propose a polymer photovoltaic device with a new scattering mechanism based on photon absorption and re-emission in a quantum dot layer. A matrix of aluminum nanorods with optimized radius and period are used to modify the coupling of light emitted from the quantum dots into the polymer layer. Our analysis shows that this architecture is capable of increasing the absorption of an ordinary po...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Complementary Nanostructures for Light Trapping in Colloidal Quantum Dot Solar Cells
We have investigated two complementary nanostructures, nanocavity and nanopillar arrays, for light absorption enhancement in depleted heterojunction colloidal quantum dot (CQD) solar cells. A facile complementary fabrication process is demonstrated for patterning these nanostructures over the large area required for light trapping in photovoltaic devices. The simulation results show that both p...
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 ...
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 کاملInAs/GaAs Quantum Dot Solar Cell
In this work Silvaco TCAD have been used to model quantum dot solar cell. It was found that the addition of InAs QD(quantum dot) in the intrinsic layer of hetero-structure InGaP/GaAs p-i-n solar cell extends the absorption range of the solar cell, thereby giving rise to efficiency enhancement of the QD solar cell by 3.8851 % it was also observed that the fill factor increases from 83.2724% to 8...
