摘要

我们从理论上研究了基于肖特基接触器件结构的少层石墨烯半导体太阳能电池(FGSCs)的效率极限和性能特征。我们通过明确考虑跨几层石墨烯/半导体肖特基异质结构的非理查德森热电子发射来模拟和比较各种构型的能量转换效率。计算结果表明,与abc堆叠结构相比,aba堆叠的三层石墨烯-硅太阳能电池由于具有较低的反向饱和电流,其最大转换效率超过28%。ABA和ABC堆叠FGSCs的PCE热系数分别为-0.064\%/K和-0.049\%/K。我们的工作为石墨烯基太阳能电池的优化设计提供了见解,从而为未来纳米级能量转换器的高性能FGSC设计铺平了道路。

Designing few-layer graphene Schottky contact solar cells: Theoretical efficiency limits and parametric optimization
We theoretically study the efficiency limits and performance characteristics of few-layer graphene-semiconductor solar cells (FGSCs) based on a Schottky contact device structure. We model and compare the energy conversion efficiency of various configurations by explicitly considering the non-Richardson thermionic emission across few-layer graphene/semiconductor Schottky heterostructures. The calculations reveal that ABA-stacked trilayer graphene-silicon solar cell exhibits a maximal conversion efficiency exceeding 28\% due to a lower reversed saturation current when compared to that of the ABC-stacking configuration. The thermal coefficients of PCE for ABA and ABC stacking FGSCs are -0.064\%/K and -0.049\%/K, respectively. Our work offers insights for optimal designs of graphene-based solar cells, thus paving a route towards the design of high-performance FGSC for future nanoscale energy converters.
