Designing transparent nanophotonic gratings for ultra-thin solar cells

Phoebe M. Pearce et al.

Summary: Integration of a rear surface nanophotonic grating can enhance the photocurrent in ultra-thin solar cells. Transparent gratings made of dielectric materials and high bandgap semiconductors offer efficient diffraction and lower parasitic absorption. The maximum photocurrent in these gratings depends on the optical constants of the materials used, regardless of the grating dimensions. However, optimization of the grating dimensions is still necessary to maximize the photocurrent for a given active layer thickness.

Efficient light-trapping in ultrathin GaAs solar cells using quasi-random photonic crystals

Jeronimo Buencuerpo et al.

Summary: Ultrathin solar cells, with one order of magnitude smaller thickness compared to conventional cells, reduce material usage and allow the use of lower-quality materials. Efficient photonic light-trapping is required to compensate for the limited absorber thickness. Quasi-random photonic crystals, which are more robust under angle and thickness variations, are predicted to provide high efficiency light-trapping. In this study, we experimentally demonstrate the use of quasi-random photonic crystals fabricated by polymer blend lithography for light-trapping in ultrathin GaAs cells, achieving an efficiency of 22.35% under the global solar spectrum.

Summary: Photovoltaic systems have achieved impressive efficiencies, but there is still room for improvement to reach the fundamental efficiency limit. Photonic design plays a crucial role in approaching the efficiency limit, enhancing light absorption and trapping, and advancing the next generation of solar cells.

Engineering the reciprocal space for ultrathin GaAs solar cells

Jeronimo Buencuerpo et al.

Summary: In this work, a design method to evolve a simple photonic crystal into a quasirandom structure is presented, aiming to enhance the photocurrent of ultrathin GaAs solar cells. The quasirandom structure increases the number of resonances by modifying the spatial-Fourier space, leading to stable enhancement in photocurrent. The approach shows robustness and efficiency in changing real-space distribution, making it a promising method for future optimizations and experimental designs of photonic crystals for GaAs and other ultrathin solar cells.
