1 Introduction. The efficiency of solar cells based on lead halide perovskites (LHPs) has improved unprecedentedly during the past decade. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) has increased rapidly from 3.8% (2009) [] to the currently certified 26.1% (2023), [] demonstrating the potential of LHPs to compete with established thin-film technologies,
To study the loss processes in solar cells systematically, in this paper, the concept of external radiative efficiency is used to quantitatively analyze the recombination processes in solar cells. The ERE of a solar cell is similar to the concept of external quantum efficiency (EQE) in a light-emitting diode [22]. With this definition, the

We report degradation mechanisms of p-i-n–structured perovskite solar cells under unfiltered sunlight and with LEDs. Weak chemical bonding between perovskites and polymer hole-transporting materials (HTMs) and transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) dominate the accelerated A-site cation migration, rather than direct degradation of HTMs.
The device''s electroluminescence efficiency is vital to reduce non-radiative voltage losses and boost organic solar cell performance. Here, the authors demonstrate that this efficiency is
Light trapping technology is one of the effective ways to improve the performance of solar cells, which can enhance the light absorption and reduce the thickness of the material and thus the expense. In recent years, surface plasmons (SPs) have made considerable progress in this field. By exploiting the light scattering and coupling effects of
In order to reduce the reflectance, we have to process the solar cell surface. In optics, this step is also called “applying an anti-reflective coating” (ARC). Ideally, we put a thin layer on top of the solar cell, so that the incident and reflected light waves cancel out.
This is described in the following sections. Absorption of light in a solar cell means that a photon is absorbed in the semiconductor and gives off its energy to create an electron-hole pair. Thanks to the energy of the photon, a bound electron, which is closely attached to a silicon atom, is released and becomes a “free electron”.
Solar cells in practical applications are supposed to cope with varied weather conditions, of which temperature and humidity are the crucial factors. In the IEC standard, three stability tests of thermal cycling, damp heat and humidity freeze correlate closely to the two factors.
From Fig. 1, we can find that light, heat, moisture and reverse bias are the main threats for solar cells to face under outdoor working conditions in addition to the mechanical stress. In this review, we retrospected the main degradation mechanisms of PSCs under those stimulations and summarized the improvement strategies with some remarkable work.
On the back we can apply two improvements: Texturing the back side. At the back of the solar cell, a reflector is used. Thus, the light that travels through the cell is reflected there and the optical path is doubled. The light, thus, receives a second chance to be absorbed in the silicon crystal.
Dominant losses and parameters of affecting the solar cell efficiency are discussed. Non-radiative recombination loss is remarkable in high-concentration-ratio solar cells. Series resistance plays a key role in limiting non-radiative recombination loss.
