我们计算了单级联GaInP/GaInAs叠层太阳能电池理论转换效率,在实验上它通常生长在GaAs衬底上。相比于传统的GaInP2/GaAs叠层电池,通过对禁带宽度组合的优化,我们得到了更高转换效率的体系结构。这里,对于所考虑禁带组合1.83eV/1.335eV,计算结果表明,当对其结构进行优化后(即顶电池GaInP厚度为1550nm,底电池GaInAs厚度为5500nm),其理论转换效率可以达到40.45% (300suns,AM1.5d),另外鉴于它相对于GaAs衬底较低的晶格失配(0.43%),在未来它将更具有应用前途。 相似文献

TheⅢ-Ⅴcompound tandem solar cell is a third-generation new style solar cell with ultra-high efficiency. The energy band gaps of the sub-cells in a GaInP/GaAs/InGaAs/Ge 4-J tandem solar cell are 1.8,1.4,1.0 and 0.7 eV,respectively.In order to match the currents between sub-cells,tunnel junctions are used to connect the sub-cells.The characteristics of the tunnel junction,the material used in the tunnel junction,the compensation of the tunnel junction to the overall cell’s characteristics,the tunnel junction’s influence on the current density of sub-cells and the efficiency increase are discussed in the paper.An AlGaAs/GaAs tunnel junction is selected to simulate the cell’s overall characteristics by PC1D,current densities of 16.02,17.12,17.75 and 17.45 mA/cm2 are observed,with a Voc of 3.246 V,the energy conversion efficiency under AM0 is 33.9%. 相似文献

We describe the design and performance of a three‐terminal tandem solar cell for low‐concentration terrestrial applications. Designed for operation under a GaAs filter, the tandem demonstrates cumulative conversion efficiencies of 10.2 and 11.9% at 1 sun and 45 suns, respectively, under the concentrated direct spectrum. The middle terminal is shared between the two subcells and allows them to be operated independently at their respective maximum power points. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

InAs量子点尺寸和间距对GaInP/GaAs/GaInAs/Ge多结叠层电池的影响 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A metamorphic GaInP/GaAs/GaInAs/Ge multi-junction solar cell with InAs quantum dots is investigated, and the analytical expression of the energy conversion efficiency on the multi-junction tandem solar cell is derived using the detailed balance principle and the Kronig-Penney model.The influences of interdot distance, quantum-dot size and the intermediate band location on the energy conversion efficiency are studied.This shows that the maximum efficiency,as a function of quantum-dot size and distance,is about 60.15%under the maximum concentration for only one InAs/GaAs subcell,and is even up to 39.69%for the overall cell.In addition,other efficiency factors such as current mismatch,the formation of a quasicontinuum conduction band and concentrated light are examined. 相似文献

Multijunction solar cells are the highest efficiency photovoltaic devices yet demonstrated for both space and terrestri-al applications.In recent years five-junction cells based on the direct semiconductor bonding technique (SBT),demonstrates space efficiencies >35% and presents application potentials.In this paper,the major challenges for fabricating SBT 5J cells and their appropriate strategies involving structure tunning,band engineering and material tailoring are stated,and 4-cm235.4%(AM0,one sun) 5J SBT cells are presented.Further efforts on detailed optical managements are required to improve the cur-rent generating and matching in subcells,to achieve efficiencies 36%-37%,or above. 相似文献

The solar power conversion efficiency of a gallium indium phosphide(GaInP)/silicon(Si)tandem solar cell has been investigated by means of a physical device simulator considering both mechanically stacked and monolithic structures.In particular,to interconnect the bottom and top sub-cells of the monolithic tandem,a gallium arsenide(GaAs)-based tunnel-junction,i.e.GaAs(n+)/GaAs(p+),which assures a low electrical resistance and an optically low-loss connection,has been considered.The J–V characteristics of the single junction cells,monolithic tandem,and mechanically stacked structure have been calculated extracting the main photovoltaic parameters.An analysis of the tunnel-junction behaviour has been also developed.The mechanically stacked cell achieves an efficiency of 24.27%whereas the monolithic tandem reaches an efficiency of 31.11%under AM1.5 spectral conditions.External quantum efficiency simulations have evaluated the useful wavelength range.The results and discussion could be helpful in designing high efficiency monolithic multijunction GaInP/Si solar cells involving a thin GaAs(n+)/GaAs(p+)tunnel junction. 相似文献

Singlet fission solar cells combined with silicon photovoltaics allow the construction of parallel tandem solar cells, which benefit from better usage of high‐energy photons. A key limiting factor for the performance of such a tandem configuration is the transparency of the singlet fission front cell. Here we show highly transparent singlet fission solar cells with a top contact of thin Ca:Ag blends. The optimized contact leads to 81% average solar cell transmittance in the near‐infrared while maintaining more than half the short‐circuit current density compared with an opaque device. We simulate the performance of the parallel tandem stack and assess the improvements needed to fully realize the potential of singlet fission in this device configuration. 相似文献

A reasonably-thick GaNAs/GaInAs superlattice could be an option as a roughly 1 eV subcell to achieve high-efficiency multi-junction solar cells on a lattice-matched Ge substrate. A detailed consideration of a high-efficiency design for a GaInP/GaAs/1 eV/Ge device is presented. Calculations have been done for this structure to obtain the confined energies of the electrons and holes by utilizing the Kronig-Penney model, as well as the absorption coefficient and thereby the external quantum efficiency. The effect of well layers, GaNAs or GaInAs, on the absorption and photocurrent density under the AM 1.5 condition is discussed in order to realize a requirement of current matching in the four-junction solar cells. The management of these considerations implies the feasibility of the GaNAs/GaInAs superlattice subcell design to improve the overall conversion efficiency of lattice matched GaInP/GaAs/1 eV/Ge cells. 相似文献

We report the recent result of GaAs/GaInP dual-junction solar cells grown by all solid-state molecularbeamepitaxy(MBE).The device structure consists of a GaIn0.48P homojunction grown epitaxially upon a GaAs homojunction,with an interconnected GaAs tunnel junction.A photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 27% under the AM1.5 globe light intensity is realized for a GaAs/GaInP dual-junction solar cell,while the efficiencies of 26% and 16.6% are reached for a GaAs bottom cell and a GaInP top cell,respectively.The energy loss mechanism of our GaAs/GaInP tandem dual-junction solar cells is discussed.It is demonstrated that the MBE-grown phosphide-containing Ⅲ–V compound semiconductor solar cell is very promising for achieving high energy conversion efficiency. 相似文献

Recently organic tandem solar cells with record efficiency had been shown comprising identical absorber materials in both subcells. Such structures pose new challenges for characterization. The standard test methods for measuring spectral response of tandem solar cells can not be applied. The standard procedures demand for different bias illumination during measuring spectral response allowing to select the subcell being current limiting. With subcells comprising identical absorber materials, thus having identical absorption spectra, such a selection is not trivial. In this paper, we show that with the help of detailed optical simulations of such tandem organic solar cells, their characterization is possible, and we apply the proposed method to a sample structure.

Polycrystalline thin‐film CdTe/CdS solar cells have been developed in a configuration in which a transparent conducting layer of indium tin oxide (ITO) has been used for the first time as a back electrical contact on p‐CdTe. Solar cells of 7·9% efficiency were developed on SnOx:F‐coated glass substrates with a low‐temperature (<450°C) high‐vacuum evaporation method. After the CdCl2 annealing treatment of the CdTe/CdS stack, a bromine methanol solution was used for etching the CdTe surface prior to the ITO deposition. The unique features of this solar cell with both front and back contacts being transparent and conducting are that the cell can be illuminated from either or both sides simultaneously like a ‘bi‐facial’ cell, and it can be used in tandem solar cells. The solar cells with transparent conducting oxide back contact show long‐term stable performance under accelerated test conditions. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The performance of multijunction solar cells has been measured over a range of temperatures and illumination intensities. Temperature coefficients have been extracted for three‐junction cell designs that are in production and under development. A simple diode model is applied to the three‐junction performance as a means to predict performance under operating conditions outside the test range. These data may be useful in guiding the future optimization of concentrator solar cells and systems. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

CuPt-type ordering with undesirable properties always occurs in GaInP at growth conditions that are very close to those leading to the highest quality material in metal organic chemical vapor deposition. In this work, highly disordered GaInP with high crystalline quality was obtained by optimizing growth conditions. Room-temperature and low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of AlGaInP/GaInP/AlGaInP double heterostructures (DHs) reveal that the band edge emission intensity is enhanced by optimizing growth temperature, V/III ratio, and reactor pressure at the expense of low energy peak originating from spatially indirect recombination due to the ordering-related defects. The DH sample with less ordering-related defects demonstrates a longer effective minority carrier lifetime, consequently, the GaInP solar cell shows a significant improvement in the performance. 相似文献

This paper presents an environmental comparison based on life cycle assessment (LCA) of the production under average European circumstances and use in The Netherlands of modules based on two kinds of III–V solar cells in an early development stage: a thin‐film gallium arsenide (GaAs) cell and a thin‐film gallium‐indium phosphide/gallium arsenide (GaInP/GaAs) tandem cell. A more general comparison of these modules with the common multicrystalline silicon (multi‐Si) module is also included. The evaluation of the both III–V systems is made for a limited industrial production scale of 0·1 MWp per year, compared to a scale of about 10 MWp per year for the multi‐Si system. The here considered III–V cells allow for reuse of the GaAs wafers that are required for their production. The LCA indicates that the overall environmental impact of the production of the III–V modules is larger than the impact of the common multi‐Si module production; per category their scores have the same order of magnitude. For the III–V systems the metal‐organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) process is the main contributor to the primary energy consumption. The energy payback times of the thin‐film GaAs and GaInP/GaAs modules are 5·0 and 4·6 years, respectively. For the multi‐Si module an energy payback time of 4·2 years is found. The results for the III–V modules have an uncertainty up to approximately 40%. The highly comparable results for the III–V systems and the multi‐Si system indicate that from an environmental point of view there is a case for further development of both III–V systems.

A comprehensive study of high efficiency In0.46Ga0.54N/Si tandem solar cell is presented. A tunnel junction (TJ) was needed to interconnect the top and bottom sub-cells. Two TJ designs, integrated within this tandem: GaAs(n+)/GaAs(p+) and In0.5Ga0.5N(n+)/Si(p+) were considered. Simulations of GaAs(n+)/GaAs(p+) and In0.5Ga0.5N (n+)/Si(p+) TJ I-V characteristics were studied for integration into the proposed tandem solar cell. A comparison of the simulated solar cell I-V characteristics under 1 sun AM1.5 spectrum was discussed in terms of short circuit current density (Jsc), open circuit voltage (VOC), fill factor (FF) and efficiency (η) for both tunnel junction designs. Using GaAs(n+)/GaAs(p+) tunnel junction, the obtained values of Jsc = 21.74 mA/cm2, VOC= 1.81 V, FF = 0.87 and η = 34.28%, whereas the solar cell with the In0.5Ga0.5N/Si tunnel junction reported values of Jsc = 21.92 mA/cm2, VOC = 1.81 V, FF = 0.88 and η = 35.01%. The results found that required thicknesses for GaAs(n+)/GaAs(p+) and In0.5Ga0.5N (n+)/Si(p+) tunnel junctions are around 20 nm, the total thickness of the top InGaN can be very small due to its high optical absorption coefficient and the use of a relatively thick bottom cell is necessary to increase the conversion efficiency. 相似文献
