Notice of Removal: High efficiency perovskite/silicon tandem cells with low parasitic absorption

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference Paper › peer-review

Abstract

A tandem configuration of perovskite and silicon solar cells is a promising way to achieve high efficiency solar energy conversion at low cost. Four-terminal tandems, in which each cell is connected independently, avoid the need for current matching between the top and bottom cells, giving greater design flexibility. A semi-transparent perovskite cell is fabricated with steady state efficiency exceeding 12% and broadband near infrared transmittance of >80% using optimized sputtered indium tin oxide front and rear contacts. Our semi-transparent cell exhibits much less hysteresis than opaque reference cells. A four-terminal perovskite on silicon tandem efficiency of more than 20% is achieved. We also demonstrate an efficient spectrum splitting perovskite-on-silicon tandem in which the perovskite cell serves two functions: absorbing short wavelengths and eliminating the need for a sophisticated optical splitter. Tandem efficiency of 23.1% has been achieved using a silicon cell with an initial efficiency of 22.4%
