研究目的
To determine the effect of light wavelength variation on the performances of the non-polar InGaN-based solar cells in order to find the optimum light wavelength that yields a high efficiency.
研究成果
The influence of light wavelengths on the substrate n-In0,3Ga0,7N/p-GaN/p-Si solar cell performances has been performed. The results showed that the photovoltaic parameters, including both the short-circuit current and the open-circuit voltage increase as the light wavelength is increased, except the fill-factor, which was found to be slightly decreased. The present study provides information about the properties of the materials used in the cell structure for efficient InGaN solar cells.
研究不足
The presence of polarization in InGaN-based solar cell has a negative impact on its outcomes. The lattice mismatch and high conduction-band offset of the n-InGaN/p-GaN heterojunction impede the minority carriers in the p-GaN semiconductor from flowing across the junction.
