摘要:

GaAs纳米线太阳能电池的效率可以显著提高,而无需任何新的工艺步骤或材料要求。我们报告了一个GaAs纳米线(NW)太阳能电池与垂直的p-i-n结和高带隙AlInP钝化壳耦合光电模拟。我们的频率相关模型有助于计算量子效率的第一次在NW太阳能电池。对于钝化的纳米线,我们发现,短波长的光子可以最有效地利用使用薄的发射器,而长波长的光子最好利用的本征区域的纳米线/基板界面,并使用基板作为基地。这两个容易实现的改变,加上NW高度增加到3.5 μ m,在钝化壳存在下具有实际的表面复合,导致NW太阳能电池具有大于19%的效率。

英文摘要:

The efficiency of GaAs nanowire solar cells can be significantly improved without any new processing steps or material requirements. We report coupled optoelectronic simulations of a GaAs nanowire (NW) solar cell with vertical p-i-n junction and high band gap AlInP passivating shell. Our frequency-dependent model facilitates calculation of quantum efficiency for the first time in NW solar cells. For passivated NWs, we find that short-wavelength photons can be most effectively harnessed by using a thin emitter while long-wavelength photons are best utilized by extending the intrinsic region to the nanowire/substrate interface, and using the substrate as a base. These two easily implemented changes, coupled with the increase of NW height to 3.5 um with realistic surface recombination in the presence of a passivation shell, result in a NW solar cell with greater than 19% efficiency.
