Light Management in Monolithic Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells
摘要： Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (TSCs), especially 2-terminal, with record efficiency of 28% already been realized, have presented great potentials to be low-cost and efficient substitutes for dominant silicon photovoltaics. It is quite realistic to achieve efficiencies exceeding 30%, which have been indicated by extensive optical simulations. Super light management in monolithic perovskite/silicon TSCs is one of the prerequisites to make it a reality. In this review, various forms of optical losses, such as reflection loss, parasitic absorption and current mismatch, are analyzed systematically to provide better understanding of the performance of perovskite/silicon TSCs. Particularly, a simple refractive index matching rule derived from the Fresnel equation is proposed as a basis of material selection and device design. Meanwhile, an overview of current strategies and challenges in monolithic perovskite/silicon TSCs is highlighted, comprising of bandgap engineering of perovskites and light trapping methods, aiming to provide guidance for further improvement of the tandem devices.

Efficiency Roadmap for Evolutionary Upgrades of PERC Solar Cells by TOPCon: Impact of Parasitic Absorption
摘要： Passivating contacts created via a thin interfacial oxide and a highly doped polysilicon layer, e.g., the TOPCon technology, are on the verge of being implemented in solar cell mass production. Investment decisions rely on R&D to identify the most promising implementation option, meaning a trustworthy roadmap based on predicted performance gains. This article shows how to thoroughly quantify the performance potential via numerical simulation, focusing on an evolutionary upgrade of a busbarless p-type bifacial passivated emitter rear cell (PERC) technology. We specifically highlight the need to consider not only the electrical gains of passivating contacts, but also the associated optical losses due to parasitic absorption in the polysilicon layers for front and rear illumination. The influence of free-carrier absorption in polysilicon on the solar cell optics is characterized on experimental test structures in order to verify our optical simulation model. Introducing TOPCon fully at the rear and also locally aligned to the front fingers can boost the PERC efficiency by approximately 1%abs. The final device is strongly limited by losses in the p-type c-Si bulk and phosphorus-doped front emitter. Consequently, the presented evolutionary TOPCon upgrades may well be of increased relevance for future improved p-PERC cells, as an alternative to the current focus on n-type TOPCon cells with boron emitter.

Reducing parasitic absorption and recombination losses in silicon solar cells through transition metal doped glass frit
摘要： Efficient electron selective contacts, smoother rear silicon surface and passivation of silicon-electrode interfaces could reduce parasitic light absorption and electron-hole recombination. Therefore, they are necessary for high conversion efficiency in silicon solar cells. In this work, a novel transition metal doped glass frit is fabricated and introduced into pristine Al paste. As a result, the average power conversion efficiency (PCE) of cells is improved from 17.9 to 18.3%. Combining several results, the improvement can be attributed to three key factors: (a) a thicker back surface field (BSF) layer that blocks electrons; (b) a smoother rear silicon surface which leads to less parasitic absorption; and (c) glass frit coating on aluminum particles which may facilite hole-transfer from silicon layer to aluminum electrode.
