Solar cells that involve liquid dyes are actually quite similar to batteries. There are electrodes at either end, and a substance that is losing an electron while another is gain an electron (oxidation and reduction, also known as redox). The only difference in a solar cell is that the electron loss (into the conduction band) starts with absorption of a photon. In 1991, Gratzel and Regan ...
The combination of these two advanced technologies has been the key for boosting the conversion efficiency of Si-based solar cells up to the current record value of 26.7% set by Kaneka , . From the commercial point of view, Sanyo (now Panasonic) pioneered the SHJ solar cell in the early 1990s.
Fully textured perovskite silicon tandem solar cells rely on the deposition of the perovskite absorber on textured silicon with a >1 μm pyramid size, which represents the current standard in the industry. To bridge the gap between research and industry, these cells must demonstrate a high power output.
Among organic solar cells, DSSCs are the most prevalent alternatives to silicon-based solar cells due to their simple fabrication and high efficiency. The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), a molecular solar cell technique, has the potential to generate solar cells for less than $0.5/Wpeak .
As discussed in the previous section, the Si homojunction solar cell architecture relies on modification of thin regions close to the Si wafer surfaces for selective collection of the photogenerated charge carriers.
In addition to the significant temperature reduction, the power conversion efficiency of cells also increases, fulfilling the requirements of high performance at minimal weight, combined with high stability and flexibility, paving the way for next-generation, stable and efficient, ultralightweight solar cells.
