研究目的
To increase the photovoltaic performance of GaAs single-junction solar cells using spectral conversion layers composed of europium-doped (Eu-doped) phosphors, ytterbium/erbium-doped (Yb/Er-doped) phosphors, and a combination of Eu-doped and Yb/Er-doped phosphors.
研究成果
The conversion e?ciency of the GaAs single-junction solar cell with a combination of 1.5 wt% Eu-doped phosphors and 1.5 wt% Yb/Er-doped phosphors (23.84%) exceeded that of the cells with 3 wt% Eu-doped or Yb/Er-doped phosphors (23.72%), due to the broadband emission provided by LDS and UC photons.
研究不足
The study focuses on the enhancement of GaAs single-junction solar cells using specific phosphor materials and does not explore the potential of other materials or configurations that might offer higher efficiency improvements.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
Spin-on ?lm deposition was used to apply the conversion layers, all of which had a total phosphor concentration of 3 wt%. The chemical compositions of the phosphors were examined by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The ?uorescence emissions of the phosphors were con?rmed by using photoluminescence measurements.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
The samples were prepared by coating clean silicon substrate with a SiO2 layer containing Eu-doped silicate-phosphors or Yb/Er-doped yttrium oxide (Y2O3) phosphors at a concentration of 3 wt%.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) (JSM-6500, JEOL Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), photoluminescence measurements (Ramboss 500i Micro-PL Spestroscopy, DONGWOO Optron, Korea), Silica?lm-5000 solution (Emulsitone Company product, Whippany, NJ, USA).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
Spin-on deposition was performed at 3000 rpm for 60 s before baking the substrates at 200°C for 30 min under an air atmosphere. The thickness of a SiO2 layer containing Eu-doped or Yb/Er-doped phosphors was non-uniformly about 85 nm to 100 nm.
5:Data Analysis Methods
The spectral conversion layers were characterized in terms of optical re?ectance, external quantum e?ciency, and photovoltaic current and voltage under AM 1.5 G simulations.
