Plasmon enhanced light trapping in thin film GaAs solar cells by Al nanoparticle array

Light trapping is a crucial factor to enhance the performance of thin film solar cells. For effective light trapping, we introduced Al nanoparticle array on the top and rear surface of thin film GaAs solar cells. The effect of both array on the optical absorption and current density of solar cells is investigated by using finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The optimization process of top and rear array in solar cells is done systematically. The results indicate that by plasmonic action of arrays, the optical absorption is significantly enhanced and optimized structure yields a current density of 25.77 mA/cm². These enhancements are mainly attributed to surface plasmon effects induced by Al nanoparticles and the light grating properties of the arrays.     

Near-field study of optical modes in randomly textured ZnO thin films

We report on near-field scanning optical microscopy measurements on randomly textured ZnO thin films. These films are commonly used as transparent conducting oxide in thin-film solar cells. Textured interfaces are used to increase the scattering of light, which leads to a better light trapping in the solar cell. Here, both the topography and the local transmission are measured with a tapered fiber tip with very high spatial resolution. By varying the distance of the tip and the wavelength of the incident light, the optical profile is visualized and reveals a strong confinement of light on a subwavelength scale which corresponds to ridges in the surface structure. The confinement of light results from guided optical modes in the ZnO which are accompanied by a modulated evanescent field in air. No corresponding structure to this modulation is found in the topography. These results give new insight for further improvement of light trapping in solar cells.     

金属光栅用于增强非晶硅薄膜太阳能电池光吸收率研究

电极对CuPc/C60双层异质结有机太阳能电池光学性能的影响

采用传输矩阵法的光学模型以及MATLAB软件模拟了电极对CuPc/C₆₀双层异质结有机太阳能电池光学性能的影响。模拟结果表明:当把微腔结构引入到双层异质结电池时,对于入射电极,发现活性层的吸光率主要受其反射相移的影响而非其透射率,并且通过变化入射电极相移调节层到合适厚度可以使活性层吸光率相比于传统器件增加很多;而当把正负折射率交替的光子晶体引入到电池中作为背电极时,发现活性层的吸光率和背电极反射率、反射相移都有很大关系,在获得高反射率的同时可以通过调节背电极厚度从而使活性层在整个吸收光谱内的吸光率大于传统器件。     

Efficient nanocoax‐based solar cells

The power conversion efficiency of most thin film solar cells is compromised by competing optical and electronic constraints, wherein a cell must be thick enough to collect light yet thin enough to efficiently extract current. Here, we introduce a nanoscale solar architecture inspired by a well‐known radio technology concept, the coaxial cable, that naturally resolves this “thick–thin” conundrum. Optically thick and elec‐ tronically thin amorphous silicon “nanocoax” cells are in the range of 8% efficiency, higher than any nanostructured thin film solar cell to date. Moreover, the thin nature of the cells reduces the Staebler–Wronski light‐induced degradation effect, a major problem with conventional solar cells of this type. This nanocoax represents a new platform for low cost, high efficiency solar power. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Design of periodic metal-insulator-metal waveguide back structures for the enhancement of light absorption in thin-film solar cells

To increase the absorption in a thin layer of absorbing material (amorphous silicon, a-Si), a light trapping design is presented. The designed structure incorporates periodic metal-insulator-metal waveguides to enhance the optical path length of light within the solar cells. The new design can result in broadband optical absorption enhancement not only for transverse magnetic (TM)-polarized light, but also for transverse electric (TE)-polarized light. No plasmonic modes can be excited in TE-polarization, but because of the coupling into the a-Si planar waveguide guiding modes and the diffraction of light by the bottom periodic structures into higher diffraction orders, the total absorption in the active region is also increased. The results from rigorous coupled wave analysis show that the overall optical absorption in the active layer can be greatly enhanced by up to 40%. The designed structures presented in this paper can be integrated with back contact technology to potentially produce high-efficiency thin-film solar cell devices.     

Effectiveness of full spectrum light soaking on solar cell degradation analysis

This study examined the effect of UV-spectrum light soaking on solar cell degradation tests. An indoor light soaking test was evaluated over three different spectral ranges: “UV only”, “UV blocked” and “Full spectrum”. a-Si:H and poly-crystalline silicon solar cell technologies were studied by light soaking tests with the same optical filter configurations.The I–V measurement results demonstrated that “UV only” irradiated solar cells exhibited the smallest output power degradation, which was only half of a percent variation compared with the full spectrum light soaking case. Using a filter that excluded the effect of the UV spectral range on light soaking, the “UV blocked” case also exhibited a significant output power degradation of the solar cells. A comparative analysis of the solar cell response, based on the I–V characteristics and the diode ideality factor under these different light soaking spectra, demonstrated the importance of the full spectrum light soaking test in the evaluation of the long-term performance of solar cells.     

Microstructured design of metallic diffraction gratings for light trapping in thin-film silicon solar cells

In thin-film silicon solar cells, a flexible optical design for light collection is developed that can enhance the optical path length in absorber layer. In this paper, we demonstrate the rectangular, trapezoidal and triangular metallic diffraction gratings as back reflectors. The potential of the structures in the solar cells is investigated by means of numerical simulations, i.e., the Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis enhanced by the Modal Transmission Line theory. The results show that the 0-order reflection can be suppressed and the energy can be transferred to high diffraction orders by metallic diffraction gratings, especially the triangular metallic diffraction gratings.     

Improved efficiency in GaAs solar cells by 1D and 2D nanopatterns fabricated by laser interference lithography

We demonstrate an improvement in efficiency of GaAs solar cells using front surface texturing with dielectric 1D and 2D nanopatterns obtained by a low cost laser interference lithography technique. The strong light scattering by the surface dielectric nanopatterns effectively increases the optical path of the incident light in the absorber layers resulting in an efficiency increase up to 23.5% compared to that of the reference solar cell. The observed efficiency improvement in the studied solar cells shows the potential use of low cost photoresist as an antireflection coating material and further application of other robust dielectric materials as texturing layer.
