Evaluation of external quantum efficiency of a 12.35% tandem solar cell comprising dye-sensitized and CIGS solar cells

CH_3NH_3PbI_3 perovskite / silicon tandem solar cells: characterization based optical simulations

“…For low-cost terrestrial photovoltaics, tandem solar cells have also been realized with various technologies, examples of which include amorphous and microcrystalline silicon solar cells [9], dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) [10], organic solar cells [11], quantum dot solar cells [12] and hybrid combinations like the DSSC / Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 solar cells [13], DSSC / silicon solar cells [14] or organic solar cells / silicon solar cells [15]. None of these tandem devices could yet surpass the single-junction c-Si efficiency due to the defective nature of the absorber materials.…”

Visible light absorption and photo-sensitizing properties of spinach leaves and beetroot extracted natural dyes

“…Various kinds of solar cells (e.g. inorganic, polymer based p-n junction photovoltaic cells, quantum dot and dye sensitized solar cell etc) are developed till date for harvesting of solar light into electrical energy [1][2][3][4]. In this regard, dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have attracted significant academic and technological attention due to their simple and cost-effective fabrication [5].…”

Influence of Cu/(Ge + Sn) composition ratio on photovoltaic performances of Cu 2 Sn 1−x Ge x S 3 solar cell

“…To surpass the theoretical maximum g for the single-junction solar cell, the tandem-type solar cells are developed (Pillai and Green, 2010;Jeonga et al, 2011). The tandem-type solar cells, which are multi-junction solar cells, are designed to use wide range of solar spectrum to improve photovoltaic performances.…”

“…For the bottom solar cell, the interesting candidates are CIGSe (Jeonga et al, 2011), Cu 2 ZnSnS x Se 4Àx (CZTSSe) (Todorov et al, 2014), and Cu 2 SnS 3 (CTS) (Chen et al, 2012) solar cells since their E g s are appropriate. The CIGSe and CZTSSe solar cells are high efficiency solar cells.…”
