研究目的
Investigating the effect of optical interference on the active layer absorption and efficiency limit of colloidal quantum dot solar cells.
研究成果
The study successfully designed, fabricated, and theoretically simulated PbS CQD solar cells using a textured ZnO layer to reduce the interference effect. By removing the interference effect at the p?n interface, a JSC of 25 mA/cm2 and a PCE of 11.1% were achieved for PbS CQD solar cells with active layer thicknesses greater than 400 nm. This provides critical insight and a strategy to design efficient emerging solar cells.
研究不足
The study focuses on the optical interference effect and does not extensively explore the impact of electrical properties such as doping concentration, mobility, and trap density on the efficiency of CQD solar cells.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved both experimental and theoretical modeling to analyze the solar cell device characteristics depending upon active layer thickness. The contribution from light scattering was excluded by keeping the ZnO structure size below 80 nm.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
PbS CQD solar cells with flat or textured ZnO layers were studied. The thickness of the active layer affecting short-circuit current density (JSC) was systematically varied from 200 to 800 nm.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Textured ZnO structure was fabricated using a hexamethylenetetramine reaction.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
JSC was calculated from external quantum efficiency (EQE) of solar cells. Optical and electrical solar cell simulation was used to distinguish the efficiency limits caused by photocurrent and by collection efficiency.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The transfer matrix method (TMM) and SCAPS program were used for optical absorbance and full photocurrent calculation, and device modeling, respectively.
