Abstract

The intermittency and power attenuation under low-light and rainy condition of solar cells highlight the necessity for hybrid energy harvesting to prolong its power generation and multi-environment applications. Herein, we develop a dual-mode triboelectric nanogenerator-silicon tandem solar cell (DTENG-Si TSC) featuring the combination of surface-single electrode and contact-separation mode TENGs which endows the maximum energy conversion of droplet kinetic energy. This design yields an open-circuit voltage of 107.8 V and power density of 1.72 W/m² stimulated by one single droplet. Subsequently, the impacts of low-light intensity (250 – 5500 Lux) on the photovoltaic performances of the DTENG-Si TSC with and w/o droplets impingement are systematically investigated, demonstrating the TSC could break through the bottleneck of the limited power conversion efficiency (PCE) of individual Si SC under low-light condition. A PCE of 21.71% can be achieved by the DTENG-Si TSC, providing a relative enhancement of 10.65% over the bare Si SC under standard AM 1.5 G solar irradiation at 100 mW cm^-2. In addition, the power density has a remarkable enhancement over 10% at the light intensity ranging from 500 to 1500 Lux, indicating this structure configuration can effectively extend the power generation and improve the power conversion efficiency of solar cells under low-light rainy condition.

期刊介绍： Nano Energy is a multidisciplinary, rapid-publication forum of original peer-reviewed contributions on the science and engineering of nanomaterials and nanodevices used in all forms of energy harvesting, conversion, storage, utilization and policy. Through its mixture of articles, reviews, communications, research news, and information on key developments, Nano Energy provides a comprehensive coverage of this exciting and dynamic field which joins nanoscience and nanotechnology with energy science. The journal is relevant to all those who are interested in nanomaterials solutions to the energy problem. Nano Energy publishes original experimental and theoretical research on all aspects of energy-related research which utilizes nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Manuscripts of four types are considered: review articles which inform readers of the latest research and advances in energy science; rapid communications which feature exciting research breakthroughs in the field; full-length articles which report comprehensive research developments; and news and opinions which comment on topical issues or express views on the developments in related fields.
