研究目的
Investigating the effect of indium composition on the microstructural properties and performance of InGaN/GaN MQWs solar cells.
研究成果
The short-circuit current density and photoelectric conversion efficiency are improved with the increase of indium concentration just when the indium content is below 18%. However, they show a reduction when the indium content reaches about 28%. The number of edge dislocations increases sharply when the indium content is 28%, acting as non-radiation recombination centers and reducing the effective number of photon-generated carriers.
研究不足
The study is limited to the effect of indium content up to 28% on the performance of InGaN/GaN MQWs solar cells. The fabrication cost of solar cells involving GaN/Si or GaN substrates is significantly higher compared to sapphire substrates.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study focused on the effect of different indium concentrations in InGaN/GaN MQWs solar cells. The materials were formed by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD).
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
InGaN/GaN MQWs with different indium contents (7%, 18% and 28%) were grown.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
MOCVD for material growth, Keithley 2400 Source Meter for current-voltage characteristics, He-Cd laser for PL spectra, HRXRD for RSM images, TEM for microstructure analysis, and spectroscopic ellipsometry for transmittance curves.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The materials were grown on patterned sapphire substrates, followed by the fabrication of solar cells. The performance was evaluated under AM
5:5 solar spectrum standard. Data Analysis Methods:
The performance parameters (Jsc, Voc, FF, η) were measured and analyzed. PL spectra, RSM images, TEM micrographs, and transmittance curves were analyzed to understand the material properties.
