How Do Solar Cells Work? Photovoltaic Cells Explained
Emerging Nanotechnology for Third Generation Photovoltaic Cells
The majority of solar cells available in the market are single junction silicon solar cell, known as first generation solar cell characterized by high areal production costs and moderate efficiency. These technologies limit their energy conversion efficiency to 31% according to Shockley–Queisser efficiency limit.
Indoor photovoltaics awaken the world''s first solar cells
Selenium (Se) solar cells were the world''s first solid-state photovoltaics reported in 1883, opening the modern photovoltaics. However, its wide bandgap (~1.9 eV) limits sunlight harvesting. Here, ...
