Spectral Conversion

ABSTRACTIncreasing solar cell efficiency by using spectral conversion is addressed in this article. To that purpose rare-earth doped YAG nanoparticles exhibiting down-conversion and quantum cutting properties have been prepared. These nanoparticles have been synthesized with different concentrations of dopants in order to optimize the luminescence and the quantum cutting efficiency. Results on the incorporation of selected material into the encapsulating layer of c-Si based PV-modules are also presented. The effect of down-conversion has been demonstrated through the increase of photocurrent of encapsulated silicon solar cells.

Experimental and theoretical study Porphyrin-grafted ZnO nanowire arrays were investigated for organic/inorganic hybrid solar cell applications. Two types of porphyrin – Tetra (4-carboxyphenyle) TCPP and meso-Tetraphenylporphine (Zinc-TPP)were used to modify the nanowire surfaces. The vertically aligned nanowires with porphyrin modifications were embedded in graphene-enriched poly (3-hexylthiophene) [G-P3HT] for p-n junction nanowire solar cells. Surface grafting of ZnO nanowires was found to improve the solar cell efficiency. There are different effect for the two types of porphyrin as results of Zn existing. Annealing effects on the solar cell performance were investigated by heating the devices up to 225 °C in air. It was found that the cell performance was significantly degraded after annealing. The degradation was attributed to the polymer structural change at high temperature as evidenced by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements.
