Abstract
In this study, photovoltaic performance enhancement of single-junction GaAs solar cells using a spectral conversion layer incorporated with luminescent down-shifting (LDS) and up conversion (UC) phosphor-species is experimental demonstrated. The photo-luminescent wavelengths of proposed LDS- and UC-phosphor species are 512 nm and 650-660 nm, respectively. Optical reflectance and external quantum efficiency response are used to examine LDS and UC effects. The performance enhancements are confirmed by photovoltaic current density-voltage curves under AM 1.5G solar simulation. An impressive increasing in absolute efficiency of 0.91% (from 22.92% to 23.83%) was obtained when the cell coated with a spectral conversion layer incorporated with LDS and up UC phosphor-species, compared to the reference cell efficiency of 22.92%t.
