The Ge based TPV cells with back-surface mirror demonstrate reflection of 85% sub-bandgap photons, external quantum yield as high as 0.9-0.95 and extremely high short circuit current of 31.6 mA/cm~2 under sunlight with cut-off at 位< 900 nm AMO spectrum. The Ge based TPV cells with ...
The absorption of photons with energy of 0.45 eV is also observed in the Fig. S1 of Supplementary Materials, indicating that an electron can be excited from IB to CB before the relaxation from IB to VB taking place. Figure 6 The differential transmittance spectra of ZnTe:O implanted and...

Thus, IBSCs can absorb below bandgap photons. The growth of quantum dots in a bulk material is the most common method used to form the intermediate band. However, manufactured QD-IBSCs have low sub-bandgap current due to the low sub-bandgap absorption [5, 6]. The maximum achieved ...
internal and external quantum efficiency: in the case of internal quantum efficiency, the number of carriers that contribute to the photocurrent is related to the number of absorbed photons, while in the case of external quantum efficiency, they are related to the number of incident photons. In...
Therefore, if we can enhance the filter’s transparency for bandgap photons such that it only cuts off wavelengths that are outside the absorption range of a device we aim to improve, we will be able to achieve better results and efficiency while illuminating with the same flux. This will ...
This optical confinement results in a 25-40% increase in the number of photons absorbed. An extensive numerical simulator was developed, which provides a 1-D self-consistent solution for Poisson's equation and the two continuity equations for electrons and holes. This simulator was used to ...

Our investigations show a proof-of-concept that organic solar cells could utilize sub-bandgap photons via integrating up-conversion nanophosphors, which provide us a promising approach to exceed the efficiency limit of single junction organic solar cells....
By introducing intermediate band in the bandgap of silicon, molybdenum-hyperdoped black silicon materials showed thermally stable absorption to photons with energy below the bandgap of silicon (0.5-1.1 eV). We studied current-voltage characteristics of metal-black silicon-metal photodetectors prepared ...
