Further Improvement in Efficiency of ZnO Nanorod Based Solar Cells Using ZnS Quantum Dots as Light Harvester and Blocking Layer Material

Zinc oxide nanorod arrays (ZnO NRs) were grown on the ZnO seed layers via an aqueous solution using hydrothermal method and their photovoltaic properties were investigated. It was found that the growth period of 20 minutes is the optimum condition for ZnO nanorods growth, the cell containing these nanorods was considered as a reference cell. In order to further increase the cell performance, Zn...

Increasing the Efficiency of Photovoltaic Systems by Using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Using Photovoltaic systems is gradually expanded by increasing energy demand. Abundance and availability of this energy, has turned to one of the most important sources of renewable energy. Unfortunately, photovoltaic systems have two big problems: first, those have very low energy conversion efficiency (in act between 12 and 42 percent under certain circumstances). Second, the power produced b...

Quantum Mechanical Calculations of Photovoltaic and Photoelectronic Properties of Oligoselenophene/Fullerene BHJ Solar Cells

To model the active layer in the hetero-junction solar cells, the C60, C70, PC60BM, PCBDAN fullerenes as acceptor, and (OS)n=1) oligoselenophenes as donor were considered. The (OS)n=14/C60, (OS)n=14/C70, (OS)n=14/PC60BM, and (OS)n=14/PCBDAN blends as a model of the active layer in the BHJ solar cell were chosen, and the optoelectronic properties were studied. The calculated efficiency of these ...
