Optical 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 کاملIntermediate 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 کاملControl of hot-carrier relaxation for realizing ideal quantum-dot intermediate-band solar cells
For intermediate-band solar cells, the broad absorption spectrum of quantum dots (QDs) offers a favorable conversion efficiency, and photocurrent generation via efficient two-step two-photon-absorption (TS-TPA) in QDs is essential for realizing high-performance solar cells. In the last decade, many works were dedicated to improve the TS-TPA efficiency by modifying the QD itself, however, the ob...
متن کاملThe Effect of pH on the Optical Band Gap of PbSe Thin Film with Usability in the Quantum Dot Solar Cell and Photocatalytic Activity
This study was an attempt to provide a simple solution processed synthesis route for Lead Selenide (PbSe) nanostructure thin films using the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method which is commercially available in inexpensive precursors. In the CBD method, the preparation parameters play a considerable role and determine the nature of the final product formed. Known as two main factors, the eff...
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...
