Abstract
Abstract. Reducing the surface optical loss and broadening the spectral response range can improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the tandem solar cell (TSC). In this study, SiO2 / MgF2 / SiO2 / MgF2 four antireflective coatings (ARCs) on top of perovskite/silicon TSC were designed, and the influence of each layer on the TSC performance was simulated and analyzed. The results indicate that the four ARCs enhanced light absorption over the 380- to 1200-nm wavelength range, and increased the PCE of the TSC from 20.79% to 24.16%, a 16.21% rate of increase. For cost savings, the four ARCs were re-optimized; the PCE of the TSC was improved to 23.6%.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
