Control over Power Conversion Efficiency of BHJ Solar Cells: Learn more from Less, with Artificial Intelligence
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Harvesting the energy from the sun through the bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells need materials with specific electronic characteristics. However, any promising material if cast improperly in cells will end into low or even null power conversion efficiency (PCE). Cell casting optimization is a time/material consumable step in any photovoltaic manufacturing practice. In this study, we showed that how the artificial intelligence (AI) could help to find optimum values of device preparation variables. For this purpose, an in-house code will catch the input variables (donor: acceptor ratio, spin casting rate, annealing temperature); learn the trends by the hybrid artificial neural network (ANN), genetic algorithm (GA) and optimize the output results simultaneously. The results showed that ANN/GA is capable to learn the trends of relatively small size dataset without over-fitting. This study highlights that how implementing the suggested AI model can help to learn more information and find the optimum recipe from less number of experiments with the highest precision.

In this research, n-dodecylthiol was added to P3HT/ PC70BM polymer solar cells to improve the crystallinity of P3HT and enhance the phase separation of P3HT/PC70BM. The improved crystallinity of P3HT:PC70BM doped with 0-5% by volume of ndodecylthiol resulted in improving the power conversion efficiency of polymer solar cells by 33%. In addition, thermal annealing of the P3HT/PC70MB/n-dodecylthi...

متن کاملA polymer tandem solar cell with 10.6% power conversion efficiency
An effective way to improve polymer solar cell efficiency is to use a tandem structure, as a broader part of the spectrum of solar radiation is used and the thermalization loss of photon energy is minimized. In the past, the lack of high-performance low-bandgap polymers was the major limiting factor for achieving high-performance tandem solar cell. Here we report the development of a high-perfo...

Thinner Si solar cells with higher efficiency can make a Si photovoltaic system a cost-effective energy solution, and nanostructuring has been suggested as a promising method to make thin Si an effective absorber. However, thin Si solar cells with nanostructures are not efficient because of severe Auger recombination and increased surface area, normally yielding <50% EQE with short-wavelength l...
