The impact of interface recombination on the external quantum efficiency of silicon solar cells

In various types of organic/inorganic solar cells, optical response enhancement is consistently observed within the external quantum efficiency spectra owing to the improvement in interface passivation and the suppression of carrier recombination. In this study, we focused on crystalline silicon solar cells and systematically investigated the impact of interface recombination on the optical response upon dual-side illumination using numerical simulations. The results shed light on the interesting phenomenon that the surface recombination velocity has a significant impact on the external quantum efficiency, and it changes as the illumination direction changes. Moreover, from a practical perspective, the spectra of external quantum efficiency under dual-side illumination conditions can act as a powerful tool for the quick diagnosis of the passivation quality at the top and bottom interfaces.

An experimental investigation of spin-on doping optimization for enhanced electrical characteristics in silicon homojunction solar cells: Proof of concept

The pursuit of enhancing the performance of silicon-based solar cells is pivotal for the progression of solar photovoltaics as the most potential renewable energy technologies. Despite the existence of sophisticated methods like diffusion and ion implantation for doping phosphorus into p-type silicon wafers in the semiconductor industry, there is a compelling need to research spin-on doping techniques, especially in the context of tandem devices, where fabricating the bottom cell demands meticulous control over conditions. The primary challenge with existing silicon cell fabrication methods lies in their complexity, cost, and environmental concerns. Thus, this research focuses on the optimization of parameters, such as, deposition of the spin on doping layer, emitter thickness (Xj), and dopant concentration (ND) to maximize solar cell efficiency. We utilized both fabrication and simulation techniques to delve into these factors. Employing silicon wafer thickness of 625 μm, the study explored the effects of altering the count of dopant layers through the spin-on dopant (SOD) technique in the device fabrication. Interestingly, the increase of the dopant layers from 1 to 4 enhances efficiency, whereby, further addition of 6 and 8 layers worsens both series and shunt resistances, affecting the solar cell performance. The peak efficiency of 11.75 % achieved in fabrication of 4 layers dopant. By using device simulation with wxAMPS to perform a combinatorial analysis of Xj and ND, we further identified the optimal conditions for an emitter to achieve peak performance. Altering Xj between 0.05 μm and 10 μm and adjusting ND from 1e+15 cm−3 to 9e+15 cm−3, we found that maximum efficiency of 14.18 % was attained for Xj = 1 μm and ND = 9e+15 cm−3. This research addresses a crucial knowledge gap, providing insights for creating more efficient, cost-effective, and flexible silicon solar cells, thereby enhancing their viability as a sustainable energy source.

Theoretical Analysis and Simulation of SiO2 and ZrO2 Based Antireflective Coatings to Improve Crystalline Silicon Solar Cell Efficiency

The Solar cell efficiency is crucial, and optical losses can hinder it significantly. Anti-reflective coatings are effective in minimizing these losses. In our study, we used Fresnel equations to calculate reflectance values for single-layer SiO2, ZrO2, a SiO2-ZrO2 mixture, and a double-layer SiO2/ZrO2 configuration. We then assessed their impact on crystalline silicon solar cells using the SCAPS program. The reflectance values of single-layer SiO2, ZrO2 and 10%SiO2-90%ZrO2 mixture were calculated as 19.17%, 13.09% and 13.01%, respectively. Notably, the double-layer SiO2/ZrO2 coating showed a low reflectance of 7.58%, a significant improvement compared to uncoated silicon at 37.45%. Efficiency values for crystalline silicon solar cells were calculated for single layer as 18,95% (SiO2), 20.39% (ZrO2), 20,40% (mixed coating) respectively and 21.68% for the double-layer SiO2/ZrO2 configuration.

Optimizing thin-film silicon solar cells with nanostructured TiO2 and a silver back reflector for enhanced energy conversion efficiency

This paper investigates the improvement of energy conversion efficiency in thin-film silicon solar cells by employing periodic nanostructures of TiO2 on the silicon active layer and a back reflector featuring periodic nanostructures of silver. The objective is to increase the optical path length, enhance absorption probability for longer wavelengths, and subsequently improve solar cell performance. Three silicon-based solar cell configurations are proposed and simulated using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method to assess their performance. Electrical characteristics are obtained through the drift-diffusion method. The resulting short-circuit current density increased from 40.93 to 65.28 to 95.373mA/cm2 for the three cells, leading to significant improvements in conversion efficiency with observed values of 20.39%, 33.26%, and 47.28%, respectively, in the optimized structures. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results of the three structures with those of a reference structure and several structures previously proposed in the literature.

Enhanced Efficiency of Silicon Solar Cell by New Salophen Complexes Embedded PMMA as Light Concentrators

AbstractThe Schiff base N,N-bis(salicylidene)-o-phenylenediamine (salophen) was prepared by the condensation of salicylaldehyde with o-phenylenediamine in ethanol solution. Two new Zn(II) and Ni(II) salophen complexes, were synthesized, fully characterized by infrared (IR), 1H NMR spectroscopic measurements, UV–Vis spectra, photoluminescence (PL), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The prepared complexes were used as phosphors to fabricate complexes/PMMA slab-based luminescent solar concentrators (LSC). The thermal stability of pure and doped PMMA polymer was examined by differential scanning calorimetry. Various parameters such as the optical energy gap, refractive index, AC and DC conductivity, dielectric constant, dielectric loss, Urbach energy, fluorescence quantum yield, and Stokes shift have been calculated and discussed. Optical absorption is carried out in wavelength region 200–900 nm at room temperature before and after the samples have been exposed to sunlight for up to 8 h. Photodegradation studies showed that the Zn(II) complex/PMMA LSC has the lowest rate of degradation compared with Ni(II) complex/PMMA LSC with the same concentration (0.06% weight). I–V characteristics of the photovoltaic devices with and without collectors were examined. The PV cell coupled with LSC shows an increase in maximum efficiency by about 50% compared to the normal one. This indicates that the proposed technique is very useful for improving the efficiency of solar cells.

ZnS-coated Yb3+-doped perovskite quantum dots: A stable and efficient quantum cutting photon energy converter for silicon-based electronics

Yb3+ doped lead halide perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) with efficient quantum cutting emission are thought to be the most promising photon energy converter for improving the performance of silicon-based electronics. Nevertheless, the low external quantum efficiency (EQE) and instability make it unfeasible for industrial use. Here, we present a unique PeQDs@ ZnS core–shell device that achieves outstanding stability and up to 39 % EQE by effectively controlling energy transfer from the PeQDs to the Yb3+ through ZnS coating. These advances are attributed to the large UV absorption and the strong localized effect of the ZnS shells on the conduction band electrons of the PeQDs. Density functional theory (DFT) first-principles simulations indicate that ZnS coating can facilitate the energy transfer of PeQDs to Yb3+. Power conversion efficiency (PCE) of silicon solar cells was significantly enhanced by ZnS-coated Yb3+ doped PeQDs, yielding a noteworthy 13.5 % relative PCE improvement over 30 measurement sets. Significantly, the stability of SSCs with ZnS-coated PeQDs films is considerably improved, resulting in a capped device T80 lifespan of up to 11,224 h. Moreover, ZnS-coated PeQDs films can significantly boost the EQE of silicon photodiodes (Si-PDs) and extend their response to deep ultraviolet light. This paper presents an efficient and consistently stable photon energy converter with great commercialization potential.

Study of NIR long afterglow luminescent materials are used in silicon solar cells to produce electricity under dark condition

It is well known that the silicon solar cells can realize effective photoelectric conversion only under sunlight irradiation, and that can not generate electricity under dark condition. Thus, the effective working (photoelectric conversion) time of silicon solar cells throughout the whole day is very limited. In this paper, the up-conversion NIR long afterglow luminescent materials, Zn3Ga2-x-y-zGe2O10:xCr3+,yYb3+,zEr3+, were successfully prepared through high temperature calcination method. The structure, morphology, elemental composition and optical property of the prepared samples were analyzed by a series of characterization methods. In addition, the mechanisms of afterglow luminescent of these materials and the energy transfer mechanisms of up-conversion luminescent between the luminescent center Cr3+ and sensitizer ions (Yb3+ and Er3+) are discussed, respectively. Finally, the prepared luminescent materials are fixed on glass sheets with reflective capacity, and then are integrated with silicon solar cells in the form of a cover plate. And then, under dark conditions, the current density-voltage (J-V) curves and current density-time (J-T) curves of these silicon solar cells were tested to explore the influences of doping proportions of Cr3+, Yb3+, Er3+, Yb3+-Er3+ pairs and the calcination temperatures of Zn3Ga2-xGe2O10:xCr3+ on the power generation of the silicon solar cells. The results show that the photovoltaic conversion instantaneous efficiency of silicon solar cell with Zn3Ga1.975Ge2O10:1.0Cr3+,1.0 Yb3+,0.5Er3+ reaches the maximum value of 2.549 % under dark condition. The average efficiency within 300 s is 0.238%. At the same time, the silicon solar cell can generate dark current for up to 8.0 h, whose maximum dark current density and open-circuit voltage of 4.88 μA/cm2 and 0.914 mV, respectively. It is hoped that this study can provide some new ideas for silicon solar cells to generate electricity without sunlight irradiation.

Silicon solar cell efficiency improvement employing electrostatically assembled polyelectrolyte–quantum dot multilayers

Down-shifting (DS) has proven to be an effective technique to address thermalization losses in photovoltaic devices. It involves the modification of the incident solar spectrum by luminescent species to better suit solar cell’s optimal absorption regions. Despite the number of favorable characteristics of quantum dots (QDs) as DS materials, their incorporation into highly ordered close-packed films remains the major drawback of QD-based DS applications. This limitation can be overcome by the sequential integration of QDs into a multilayered film via the layer-by-layer assembly technique, that allows the precise control of composition and thickness. The experimental results discussed herein indicate that upon optimization employing a model-assisted design approach, the spectral response of a silicon solar cell benefits from the down-shifting and antireflection capabilities of the QD film, as evinced by their quantum efficiency. For the optimum design, the incorporation of QDs triggered an increment of 26.1% in the power conversion efficiency driven by an increase of 29.2% in the short circuit current density. The controlled assembly of QD multilayers offers unique opportunities in light harvesting for new hybrid photovoltaic technologies.

Space charge region recombination in highly efficient silicon solar cells

The recombination rate in the space charge region (SCR) of a silicon-based barrier structure with a long Shockley–Reed–Hall lifetime is calculated theoretically by taking into account the concentration gradient of excess electron-hole pairs in the base region. Effects of the SCR lifetime and applied voltage on the structure ideality factor have been analyzed. The ideality factor is significantly reduced by the concentration gradient of electron-hole pairs. This mechanism provides an increase of the effective lifetime compared to the case when it is insignificant, which is realized at sufficiently low pair concentrations. The theoretical results have been shown to be in agreement with experimental data. A method of finding the experimental recombination rate in SCR in highly efficient silicon solar cells (SCs) has been proposed and implemented. It has been shown that at the high excess carrier concentration exceeding 1015 cm–3 the contribution to the SCR recombination velocity from the initial region of SCR that became neutral is significant. From a comparison of theory with experiment, the SCR lifetime and the ratio of the hole to the electron capture cross sections are determined for a number of silicon SCs. The effect of SCR recombination on the key characteristics of highly efficient silicon SCs, such as photoconversion efficiency and open-circuit voltage, has been evaluated. It has been shown that they depend not only on the charge carrier lifetime in SCR, but also on the ratio of hole to electron capture cross sections σp /σn. When σp /σn < 1, this effect is significantly strengthened, while in the opposite case σp /σn > 1 it is weakened. It has been ascertained that in a number of highly efficient silicon SCs, the distribution of the inverse lifetime in SCR is described by the Gaussian one. The effect described in the paper is also significant for silicon diodes with a thin base, p-i-n structures, and for silicon transistors with p-n junctions. In Appendix 2, the need to take into account the lifetime of non-radiative excitonic Auger recombination with participation of deep impurities in silicon is analyzed in detail. It has been shown, in particular, that considering it enables to reconcile the theoretical and experimental dependences for the effective lifetime in the silicon bulk.

Theoretical limiting‐efficiency assessment on advanced crystalline silicon solar cells with Auger ideality factor and wafer thickness modifications

AbstractWith the improvement of surface passivation, bulk recombination is becoming an indispensable and decisive factor to assess the theoretical limiting efficiency () of crystalline silicon (c‐Si) solar cells. In simultaneous consideration of surface and bulk recombination, a modified model of evaluation is developed. Surface recombination is directly depicted with contact selectivity while bulk recombination is revised on the aspects of ideality factor and wafer thickness. The of the double‐side silicon heterojunction (SHJ) and double‐side tunneling‐oxide passivating contact (TOPCon) solar cells are numerically simulated using the new model as 28.99% and 29.19%, respectively. However, the of single‐side TOPCon solar cells, the more practicable scenario, is only 27.79%. Besides, the of the double‐side SHJ solar cells would exceed the double‐side TOPCon solar cells if the recombination parameter of the non‐contacted area is higher than 0.6 fA/cm2, instead of perfect passivation. Our results are instructive in accurately assessing efficiency potential and accordingly optimizing design strategies of c‐Si solar cells.

Exploring mc‐Silicon Wafers: Utilizing Machine Learning to Enhance Wafer Quality Through Etching Studies

AbstractThis paper provides a method for improving the photovoltaic conversion efficiency and optical attributes of silicon solar cells manufactured from as‐cut boron doped p‐type multi‐crystalline silicon wafers using acid‐based chemical texturization via machine learning. A decreased reflectance, which can be attained by the right chemical etching conditions, is one of the key elements for raising solar cell efficiency. In this work, the mc‐Silicon wafer surface reflectance is obtained under (<2%) after optimization of wet chemical etching. The HF + HNO3 + CH3COOH chemical etchant is used in the ratio 1:3:2 at different conditions of the etching duration of 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, and 4 min, respectively. The as‐cut boron doped p‐type mc‐silicon wafers are analysed with ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, optical microscopy, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, thickness profilometer, and scanning electron microscopy before and after etching. The chemical etching solution produces good results in 3 min etched wafer, with a reflectivity value of <2%.The reflectivity and optical images are inputs to the convolutional neural network model and the linear regression model to obtain the etching rate for better reflectivity. The classification model provides 99.6% accuracy and the regression model results in the minimum mean squared error (MSE) of 0.062.

Broadband Sensitized Near‐Infrared Quantum Cutting Materials for Silicon Solar Cells: Progress, Challenges, and Perspectives

Silicon solar cells are currently the most widely used type, accounting for more than 90% of the commercial market. However, the spectral mismatch between the solar spectrum and the absorption spectra of the cells is the main cause restricting their conversion efficiency, which cannot exceed the Shockley–Queisser limit. Quantum cutting can convert one high‐energy photon into two or more low‐energy photons and reduce the energy loss of the high‐energy photons, providing a way to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of silicon solar cells. The unique electronic configuration of rare‐earth elements gives them excellent optical properties and makes them good candidates for the luminescent centers of quantum cutting materials. This article reviews their luminescence mechanism, energy transfer (ET) mechanism, and application in silicon solar cells and outlines the potential problems of broadband‐sensitized near‐infrared (NIR) quantum cutting materials. Some key issues and future directions are also discussed.

Efficient near-infrared emission at 1070 nm in (Eu3+/Nd3+) ions pair activated NAFBT glasses by CET process for improving the silicon solar cell efficiency

Present work reveals the luminescent downconversion (LDC) process in a series of new sodium-aluminumfluoro borotellurite (NAFBT) glasses by co-doping Nd3+ concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1.5, and 2.0 mol%) with a constant (2.0 mol%) Eu3+ content. The X-ray diffractogram and IR spectral studies have shown the amorphous like structure and functional groups of the fabricated NAFBT glasses. The fabricated glasses’ physical properties like density and molar volume, and their absorption in the 300–780 nm (UV-Visible) and 800–2300 nm (NIR) ranges were studied. The LDC effect via co-operative type energy transfer (CET) in NAFBT:(Eu3+/Nd3+) glasses was tested with the stimulation at 463 nm of Eu3+, showing a prominent 614 nm (visible) photon of Eu3+ and 907, 1070, and 1339 nm photons (NIR) of Nd3+ ions. The variation in percentage (%) of the integrated intensity at 1070 nm (Nd3+) and 614 nm (Eu3+) was studied as a function of Nd3+ concentration at a fixed Eu3+ content. The multipolar interactions between Nd3+ and Eu3+ ions in NAFBT glasses were studied by Reisfeld and Dexter energy transfer (ET) process. The decline of PL decay from 1.91 to 0.38 ms was represented by dipole-quadrupole interaction in NAFBT glasses. Asymmetric ratio and photometric parameters such as correlated color temperatures (∼1020 K), and (x, y) color coordinates nearly (0.65, 0.34) of red emission were also evaluated for NAFBT glasses. The intense NIR (1070 nm) emission matches well with the silicon solar spectrum and an increase of conversion efficiency (ηQE) from 125% to 199% demonstrate the potential application of NAFBT glass materials in crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells.

Large-scale preparation of CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dot/EVA composite adhesive film by melting for crystal silicon solar cell

Silicon solar cell is the most mature photovoltaic conversion device, and in order to further improve the performance of the device, application of downshifting films has become a research hotspot. In this paper, CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dot/EVA composite adhesive film was prepared by melting method with CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dot film under solution processing as masterbatch and EVA particles as excipient. The effect of synthesis conditions on the luminescence properties of the composite films were thoroughly studied. The optimized CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dot/EVA composite adhesive film has excellent performance, and its light transmission reaches 85%. The CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dot/EVA composite adhesive film absolutely improves the efficiency of silicon solar cells by 1.08%, which is much higher than that of pure EVA adhesive film (0.63%). In addition, the device efficiencies have almost no change after 30 d in the air, maintaining the working stability of the device and contributing to industrial applications. This study provides a novel, industrial and low-cost synthesis route for the synthesis of CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dot/EVA composite adhesive film, which is expected to have broad application.

Methylation of Si(111) Modulates Molecular Orientation in Perylenediimide Thin Films.

Singlet fission produces a pair of low-energy spin-triplet excitons from a single high-energy spin-singlet exciton. While this process offers the potential to enhance the efficiency of silicon solar cells by ∼30%, meeting this goal requires overlayer materials that can efficiently transport triplet excitons to an underlying silicon substrate. Herein, we demonstrate that the chemical functionalization of silicon surfaces controls the structure of vapor-deposited thin films of perylenediimide (PDI) dyes, which are prototypical singlet fission materials. Using a combination of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS), we find terminating Si(111) with either a thin, polar oxide layer (SiOx) or with hydrophobic methyl groups (Si-CH3) alters the structures of the resulting PDI films. While PDI films grown on SiOx are comprised of small crystalline grains that largely adopt an "edge-on" orientation with respect to the silicon surface, films grown on Si-CH3 contain large grains that prefer to align in a "face-on" manner with respect to the substrate. This "face-on" orientation is expected to enhance exciton transport to silicon. Interestingly, we find that the preferred mode of growth for different PDIs correlates with the space group associated with bulk crystals of these compounds. While PDIs that inhabit a monoclinic (P21/c) space group nucleate films by forming tall and sparse crystalline columns, PDIs that inhabit triclinic (P1̅) space groups afford films comprised of uniform, lamellar PDI domains. The results highlight that silicon surface functionalization profoundly impacts PDI thin film growth, and rational selection of a hydrophobic surface that promotes "face-on" adsorption may improve energy transfer to silicon.

Modelling and analysis of high efficiency silicon solar cell using double layers anti-reflection coatings (ARC)

The modernization that is currently taking over across the world is resulting in numerous advancements in a variety of industries, and the most notable and apparent development is the rising use of solar energy, which has become more prevalent every day. Most companies, residences, schools, and other organizations rely mostly on solar energy as the main source of electricity. It was discovered that anti-reflective coating (ARC) had been applied to solar cells with the goal of increasing power conversion efficiency, decreasing reflection loss, and improving absorption. Although a single layer of ARC is sufficient, applying an additional layer might improve the solar cell application’s effectiveness. Hence, the modeling and analysis of double layers of anti-reflection coating (ARC) with different types of materials have been investigated and evaluated using personal computer one-dimensional (PC1D) simulation software. In this study, the double-layer anti-reflection coating on the solar cell was modeled using PC1D, where this software allowed for one-dimensional simulation of the parameters required for the operation of semiconductor-based solar energy systems. The PC1D simulation reveals that SiO2/TiO2 has the highest efficiency (22.82%) and lowest reflection compared to Si3N4/TiO2 and ZnO/TiO2. Also, SiO2/TiO2 generates the highest external quantum efficiency (EQE) among ARC double layers, making it ideal for silicon solar cell applications in order to boost the solar cell’s efficiency. The results for the effects of current, voltage, reflection, and EQE of the different double layers of ARC have also been studied in this paper.

Effect of MoO3/WO3 modulation on high-temperature wettability and crystallization behavior of glass and its application in solar cell

The role of glass in the metallization contact of crystalline silicon solar cells is crucial. Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the reaction between the main components in glass and SiNx antireflection layer during sintering. Additionally, the low content component in glass plays an indispensable role in etching and wetting silicon base. The present study investigated the impact of ionic radius on glass properties through manipulation of the elemental composition of transition metals Mo and W. The results indicated a significant decrease in the characteristic temperature point of glass and an increase in wettability after the addition of MoO3 and WO3. Furthermore, the thermal expansion of glass was observed to increase with higher WO3 content. Screen printing for the preparation of silver electrodes revealed that glass-silver pastes had optimal printing properties. When the quality ratio of MoO3 and WO3 was 7:3, it effectively enhanced the precipitation of Bi2WO6 and Pb7.90Mo0.10O12.15 crystals in the glass, leaded to a reduction in the band gap of the glass. This resulted in an increased imprint of silver crystals within the glass layer, with more nano-silver crystals were deposited near the pyramid. Consequently, an optimal metallization contact was established between the silver grid and emitter. The average aspect ratio of silver grid improved from 0.415 for AG-1 to 0.469 for AG-3, which enhanced the photoelectric conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells.

Pathways toward commercial perovskite/silicon tandem photovoltaics.

Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells offer a promising route to increase the power conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells beyond the theoretical single-junction limitations at an affordable cost. In the past decade, progress has been made toward the fabrication of highly efficient laboratory-scale tandems through a range of vacuum- and solution-based perovskite processing technologies onto various types of c-Si bottom cells. However, to become a commercial reality, the transition from laboratory to industrial fabrication will require appropriate, scalable input materials and manufacturing processes. In addition, perovskite/silicon tandem research needs to increasingly focus on stability, reliability, throughput of cell production and characterization, cell-to-module integration, and accurate field-performance prediction and evaluation. This Review discusses these aspects in view of contemporary solar cell manufacturing, offers insights into the possible pathways toward commercial perovskite/silicon tandem photovoltaics, and highlights research opportunities to realize this goal.

Data-Driven Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact Solar Cell Performance Analysis Using Machine Learning.

Tunnel oxide passivated contacts (TOPCon) have gained interest as a way to increase the energy conversion efficiency of silicon solar cells, and the International Technology Roadmap of Photovoltaics forecasts TOPCon to become an important technology despite a few remaining challenges. To review the recent development of TOPCon cells, this work has compiled a dataset of all device data found in current literature, which sums up to 405 devices from 131 papers. This may seem like a surprisingly small number of cells given the recent interest in the TOPCon architecture, but it illustrates a problem of data dissemination in the field. Notwithstanding the limited number of cells, there is a great diversity in cell manufacturing procedures, and this work observes a gradual increase in performance indicating that the field has not yet converged on a set of best practices. By analyzing the data using statistical methods and machine learning (ML) algorithms, this work is able to reinforces some commonly held hypotheses related to the performance differences between different device architectures. This work also identifies a few more unintuitive feature combinations that would be of interest for further experimentally studies. This work also aims to inspire improvements in data management and dissemination within the TOPCon community.
