Overcoming the bandgap limitation on solar cell materials

The thermodynamic efficiency of a single junction solar cell is bounded by the Shockley-Queisser detailed balance limit at ∼30% [W. Shockley and H. J. Queisser, J. Appl. Phys. 32 , 510 (1961)]. This maximal efficiency is considered achievable using a semiconductor within a restricted bandgap range o...
