3D surface microstructure of silicon modified by QDs to improve solar cell performance through down-conversion and anti-reflection mechanism

Optimization design of surface optical characteristics of space solar cells based on transfer matrix method

“…Another way is to prepare a special surface optical structure on the surface of the PV cell so that more useful wavelengths of light are refracted into the PV cell and absorbed. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Fateme H. 23) used an evaporation-induced self-assembly method to prepare a three-layer mesoporous silica coating with an average transmittance of 96% in the wavelength range of 400-800 nm. Baohua Zhu et al 24) processed the regular hemisphere pit arrays (RHPA) on the surface of the quartz glass of the solar cell using micro-nano processing.…”

“…For the study of silicon cells, it has also been reported that the quantum dots [31][32][33] and nano-composite materials 32,34,35) are coated on the surface of the battery to increase the Sunlight absorption. Liu P. et al 30) used the down-conversion effect of quantum dot materials to increase the PCE of single-crystal silicon solar cells coated with hybrid structures to 15.87%. Yifan Guo et al 33) proposed an antireflective nano-structured coating that can be applied to ARC.…”
