Four-terminal perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells based on large-area perovskite solar cells utilizing low-cost copper semi-transparent electrode

Manas R. Samantaray et al.

Summary: This paper presents the fabrication of large-area four-terminal perovskite-Si solar cells and discusses their efficiencies. Large-area semi-transparent perovskite solar cells were fabricated using a thin copper layer as a transparent electrode, and a carrier selective contact-based Si solar cell was also fabricated. The efficiencies of these cells and a commercially available monocrystalline-Si solar cell were evaluated under different illumination conditions, and the combined efficiencies of the 4 T configurations were calculated.

Monolithic perovskite/organic tandem solar cells with 23.6% efficiency enabled by reduced voltage losses and optimized interconnecting layer

Wei Chen et al.

Summary: Perovskite/organic tandem solar cells have a promising future in thin-film photovoltaics due to the large chemical composition and tunability of their bandgap. However, their efficiency is currently limited by the open-circuit voltage loss and non-ideal interconnecting layers. In this study, the passivation of nickel oxide hole-transporting layers and the development of an optimized interconnecting layer structure led to a significant increase in efficiency, reaching a maximum of 23.60% (22.95% certified) in perovskite/organic tandem solar cells.

Improving the Efficiency of Quantum Dot Sensitized Solar Cells beyond 15% via Secondary Deposition

Han Song et al.

Summary: A new secondary deposition approach was developed to increase quantum dot (QD) loading and enhance the performance of QD sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) without introducing new recombination centers. By creating a metal oxyhydroxide layer around QD presensitized photoanodes, the photovoltage, fill factor, and efficiency of the ZCISSe QDSCs were remarkably improved. This innovative method achieved a new certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) record of 15.20% for liquid-junction QDSCs.
