Scalable High-Efficiency Thin Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells Enabled by Light-Trapping Nanostructures

Technical Report Chen, Gang ; Branham, Matthew S. ; Hsu, Wei-Chun ; ...

This report summarizes the research activities of the Chen group at MIT over the last two years pertaining to our research effort developing and proving light-trapping designs for ultrathin crystalline silicon solar cells. We present a new world record efficiency for a sub-20-micron crystalline silicon device, as well as details on the combined photonic/electronic transport simulation we developed for photovoltaic applications.
Advances in Silicon-Nanoelectronics, Nanostructures and High-Efficiency Si-Photovoltaics

Journal Article Hiller, Daniel ; Duffy, Ray ; Strehle, Steffen ; ... - Physica Status Solidi. A, Applications and Materials Science

This Special Issue of physica status solidi (a) features presentations of Symposium D, 2019 Spring-EMRS Meeting in Nice, France. Silicon in various bulk forms remains a fascinating material allowing for solar cell efficiency records by ultimate passivation of the bulk, surfaces, and contacts. In parallel, Si nanostructures emerge as capable building blocks in diverse fields ranging from nano-electronics and photonics to sensing. This symposium aimed to share the latest research in these fields and to create new interdisciplinary ideas.

Nanostructured Materials for High Efficiency Low Cost Solution-Processed Photovoltaics

Technical Report Salleo, Alberto

The goal of the project was to develop a suite of materials coupled with processing technologies aimed at the fabrication of entirely solution-processed photovoltaic devices. Most of the emphasis in terms of innovation was placed on the transparent electrodes, widely considered a critical component of the solar cell in terms of cost and performance. The active layer technologies proposed hinged on the fabrication and deposition of semiconducting nanoparticles. The electrode development hit all the milestones proposed: by the end of the grant we were able to fabricate transparent and flexible electrodes with transmission over the solar spectrum higher than 85%more »« less

High Efficiency Nanostructured III-V Photovoltaics for Solar Concentrator Application

Technical Report Hubbard, Seth

The High Efficiency Nanostructured III-V Photovoltaics for Solar Concentrators project seeks to provide new photovoltaic cells for Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV) Systems with higher cell efficiency, more favorable temperature coefficients and less sensitivity to changes in spectral distribution. The main objective of this project is to provide high efficiency III-V solar cells that will reduce the overall cost per Watt for power generation using CPV systems.This work is focused both on a potential near term application, namely the use of indium arsenide (InAs) QDs to spectrally "tune" the middle (GaAs) cell of a SOA triple junction device to a more favorablemore »« less

High-efficiency photovoltaics based on semiconductor nanostructures

Technical Report Yu, Paul K.L. ; Yu, Edward T. ; Wang, Deli

The objective of this project was to exploit a variety of semiconductor nanostructures, specifically semiconductor quantum wells, quantum dots, and nanowires, to achieve high power conversion efficiency in photovoltaic devices. In a thin-film device geometry, the objectives were to design, fabricate, and characterize quantum-well and quantum-dot solar cells in which scattering from metallic and/or dielectric nanostructures was employed to direct incident photons into lateral, optically confined paths within a thin (~1-3um or less) device structure. Fundamental issues concerning nonequilibrium carrier escape from quantum-confined structures, removal of thin-film devices from an epitaxial growth substrate, and coherent light trapping in thin-film photovoltaicmore »« less
