研究目的
To test and improve upon the metal oxide subcell included in a four-terminal STHSC (silicon tandem heterojunction solar cell) design, focusing on its layer’s characteristics.
研究成果
The study found that optimized values for the Cu2O layer were found at 2 μm thickness and an acceptor concentration of 2·1014 cm-3 obtained by doping. It confirmed that the tandem heterojunction maintains interest for future development, in agreement with previous and ongoing experimental and theoretical studies and applications.
研究不足
The study acknowledges that the deposition method can greatly influence the electronic behavior and practical current density. It also notes that material and interface defects minimization is necessary for big jumps in efficiency.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a 1D numerical approach in wxAMPS, a solver of Poisson and continuity equations in 1D, using iterative processes with robust defect implementation options. The modeling approach is based on the Shockley-Read-Hall formalism, and various simplifications on interface defects.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study focused on Cu2O/ZnO metal oxide layer implementations.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The simulation considered variables such as dielectric constant, electron affinity, band gap, effective density of states, mobilities, doping concentration, defect type, energy, density, distribution width, and capture cross section for electrons and holes.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study optimized the metal oxide heterojunction via layer thickness and doping.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The study analyzed the electronic properties of the default design of a combined Cu2O/ZnO with a classic silicon cell in series and optimized the metal oxide heterojunction.
