| description | ABSTRACT
Multi‐junction solar cells offer extremely high power conversion efficiency with minimal semiconductor material usage, and hence are promising for large‐scale electricity generation. However, suppressing optical reflection in the UV regime is particularly challenging due to the lack of adequate dielectric materials. In this work, bio‐inspired antireflective structures are demonstrated on a monolithically grown Ga0.5In0.5P/In0.01Ga0.99As/Ge triple‐junction solar cell, which overcome the limited optical response of reference devices. The fabricated device also exhibits omni‐directional enhancement of photocurrent and power conversion efficiency, offering a viable solution to concentrated illumination with large angles of incidence. A comprehensive design scheme is further developed to tailor the reflectance spectrum for maximum photocurrent output of tandem cells. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Biologically inspired antireflective structures are incorporated into a monolithically grown In0.5Ga0.5P/In0.01Ga0.99As/Ge triple‐junction solar cell using scalable polystyrene nanosphere lithography. The subwavelength structures exhibit remarkable antireflection in the UV, which is hardly attainable with common thin‐film coatings. Consequently, the nanostructured device shows omni‐directional enhancement of photocurrent and power conversion efficiency because of alleviated current matching. A comprehensive design scheme is also developed to tailor the reflectance spectrum for maximum photocurrent output of tandem cells. |
