چکیده
A four-terminal tandem structure based on the copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) solar cell is a viable approach to achieve high efficiency. For this purpose, dual-junction configuration, consisting of experimental CIGS with record efficiency 23.35% as bottom and wide bandgap thin-film absorbers top cell, evaluated by modeling. Herein, effects luminescence efficiency, optical absorption, bandgap, thickness, light trapping designed performance are investigated. The results show that optimum thickness absorber layer for between 1.7 2 eV 0.5 μm, respectively. Light less than 1 μm-thick has strong impact performance. analytical model provided recognize suitable materials partner cell. analysis shows arsenide (GaAs), zinc tin sulfide (CZTS), cadmium telluride (CdTe), (CGS) cells can be considered more 30% Al0.31Ga0.69As/CIGS 35.9% also proposed.

متن کاملHigh efficiency all-polymer tandem solar cells
In this work, we have reported for the first time an efficient all-polymer tandem cell using identical sub-cells based on P2F-DO:N2200. A high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.70% was achieved, which is among the highest efficiencies for all polymer solar cells and 43% larger than the PCE of single junction cell. The largely improved device performance can be mainly attributed to the enha...

Herein we report the one-pot electrodeposition of copper indium gallium diselenide, CuIn(1-x)Ga(x)Se(2) (CIGS), thin films as the p-type semiconductor in an ionic liquid medium consisting of choline chloride/urea eutectic mixture known as Reline. The thin films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photo...
متن کاملInvestigation of an Electrochemical Method for Separation of Copper, Indium, and Gallium from Pretreated CIGS Solar Cell Waste Materials
Recycling of the semiconductor material copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) is important to ensure a future supply of indium and gallium, which are relatively rare and therefore expensive elements. As a continuation of our previous work, where we recycled high purity selenium from CIGS waste materials, we now show that copper and indium can be recycled by electrodeposition from hydrochloric...
متن کاملHydrogen-doped indium oxide/indium tin oxide bilayers for high-efficiency silicon heterojunction solar cells
The front transparent conductive oxide layer is a source of significant optical and electrical losses in silicon heterojunction solar cells because of the trade-off between free-carrier absorption and sheet resistance. We demonstrate that hydrogen-doped indium oxide (IO:H), which has an electron mobility of over 100 cm/V s, reduces these losses compared to traditional, low-mobility transparent ...
