Nano-Structured Gratings for Improved Light Absorption Efficiency in Solar Cells
Due to the rising power demand and substantial interest in acquiring green energy from sunlight, there has been rapid development in the science and technology of photovoltaics (PV) in the last few decades. Furthermore, the synergy of the fields of metrology and fabrication has paved the way to acquire improved light collecting ability for solar cells. Based on recent studies, the performance o...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of Nano-Structured Gratings for Conversion Efficiency Improvement in GaAs Solar Cells
This paper presents the design and analysis of nano-structured gratings to improve the conversion efficiency in GaAs solar cells by reducing the light reflection losses. A finite-difference time domain (FDTD) simulation tool is used to design and simulate the light reflection losses of the subwavelength grating (SWG) structure in GaAs solar cells. The SWG structures perform as an excellent alte...
متن کاملNano-Structured Solar Cells
2.0 The resources at Arkansas are more than adequate. The team is very capable and can realize the stated goals. The results have shown that there is a chemical interaction between carbon nanotubes and P3HT. Solar panels based on carbon nanotube/P3HT organic materials were disappointingly low. Goals have been set to increase the efficiency. Some very preliminary results based on Si were given b...
متن کاملAbsorption 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 کاملEnhanced optical absorption in organic solar cells using metal nano particles
In this study, for increasing absorption of the active layer in bulk hetero junction (BHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs) we used surface Plasmon effects of metal nano particles (MNPs). We embedded the MNPs inside the active layer and studied the device structure. For shown the results we investigated the model of our structure with Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) numerical method and achieved...
