Open-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...
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 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 کاملEffect of illumination intensity and temperature on open circuit voltage in organic solar cells
The effect of illumination intensity and temperature on open circuit voltage Voc in organic photovoltaic devices has been investigated. Voc is observed to saturate at high illumination intensities. The illuminated J-V characteristics at different intensities intersect the dark characteristic at a single point. This intersection point is shown to be equal to the built-in voltage Vbi in the sampl...
متن کاملInvestigation of the open-circuit voltage in solar cells doped with quantum dots
Quantum dots (QDs) have attracted much attention for use in photovoltaic applications because of their potential for overcoming the limits of conventional single-junction devices. One problem associated with solar cells using QDs is that the open-circuit voltage (V(oc)) always decreases with the addition of QDs with respect to the reference cell without QDs. Here, we report the investigation of...
