研究目的
Investigating the effect of tunnel junction growth rates on the optical properties and efficiency of InGaP/GaAs double-junction solar cells.
研究成果
The optical properties and efficiency of InGaP/GaAs DJSCs are significantly affected by the growth rate of the tunnel junctions. A slower growth rate (1.0 ?/s) results in fewer defect states and improved power-conversion efficiency compared to a faster growth rate (1.5 ?/s). This finding is crucial for the fabrication of high-efficiency solar cells.
研究不足
The study is limited to the analysis of InGaP/GaAs DJSCs with tunnel junctions grown at two specific rates (1.0 and 1.5 ?/s). The impact of other growth parameters or different materials for tunnel junctions was not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved growing InGaP/GaAs DJSC structures by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with tunnel junctions grown at different rates (1.0 and 1.5 ?/s). Temperature- and excitation power-dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements were conducted to analyze the optical properties.
2:0 and 5 ?/s). Temperature- and excitation power-dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements were conducted to analyze the optical properties.
Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: The samples were grown on p-GaAs substrates with 6° off-cut toward the (111)A plane. The structures included an InGaP top cell and a GaAs bottom cell interconnected with a p++-Al0.3Ga0.7As/n++-GaAs tunnel junction.
3:3Ga7As/n++-GaAs tunnel junction.
List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: A diode-pumped solid-state laser (λ = 532 nm) was used for excitation, and the PL signal was collected with a charge-coupled device detector. Carbon tetra-bromide (CBr4) and diethyltelluride (DETe) were used as dopants.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The samples were placed in a closed-cycle helium cryostat for PL measurements at temperatures ranging from 10 to 300 K. The excitation laser power was adjusted from 2.5 to 250 mW using neutral density filters.
5:5 to 250 mW using neutral density filters.
Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: The PL spectra were analyzed to determine the emission peaks and their origins. The power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of the solar cells was measured under AM 1.5G, 1 sun illumination.
