研究目的
Investigating the performance enhancement of indium‐rich InGaN/GaN solar cells through the incorporation of plasmonic and dielectric nanogratings.
研究成果
The dual nanograting structure significantly enhances the absorption and power conversion efficiency of InGaN/GaN solar cells by coupling incident sunlight to plasmonic and photonic modes. The optimized structure shows a 30% enhancement in Jsc and a 31% enhancement in PCE under unpolarized light. The study demonstrates the potential of dual nanogratings for improving solar cell performance across a broad spectral range.
研究不足
The study is based on simulations, and the practical fabrication of the proposed solar cell structure with high indium content InGaN layers may face challenges due to material quality and phase separation issues. Additionally, the performance under oblique light incidence is only simulated up to 50 degrees.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) simulations to analyze the electromagnetic fields and absorption in the solar cell. The simulations use plane wave illumination with wavelengths ranging from 300 to 900 nm.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The solar cell structure includes an indium‐rich InGaN/GaN p‐i‐n thin film with dual nanogratings. The parameters of the nanogratings and the solar cell layers are varied to optimize performance.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The simulations utilize Lumerical FDTD solutions software. Materials include Ag, GaN, InGaN, and ITO with specified refractive indices.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study involves optimizing the dimensions of the nanogratings and analyzing the absorption and short‐circuit current density under various conditions.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The absorption and Jsc are calculated using the FDTD simulation results, with the Jsc determined by integrating the product of wavelength‐dependent absorption and the solar spectrum AM1.5G.
