摘要：A reasonably-thick GaNAs/GalnAs superlattice could be an option as a roughly 1 eV subcell to achieve high-effiCiency multi-junction solar cells on a lattice-matched Ge substrate. A detailed consideration of a high- efficiency design for a GaInP/GaAs/1 eV/Ge device is presented. Calculations have been done for this structure to obtain the confined energies of the electrons and holes by utilizing the Kronig-Penney model, as well as the absorption coefficient and thereby the external quantum efficiency. The effect of well layers, GaNAs or GaInAs, on the absorption and photocurrent density under the AM 1.5 condition is discussed in order to realize a requirement of current matching in the four-junction solar cells. The management of these considerations implies the feasibility of the GaNAs/GaInAs superlattice subcell design to improve the overall conversion efficiency of lattice matched GaInP/GaAs/1 eV/Ge cells.

摘要：In this paper, via numerical simulation we designed the geometry of solar cell made by onedimensional （1D） and two-dimensional （2D） photonic crystals with two kinds of materiel （silicon （Si） and hydrogenated amorphous silicon （a-Si：H）） in order to enhance its absorption. The absorption characteristics of light in the solar cell structures are simulated by using finite-difference time-domain （FDTD） method. The calculation results show that the enhancement of absorption in patterned structure is apparent comparing to the unpatterned one, which proves the ability of the structure to produce photonic crystal solar cell. We found solar cell geometries as a 2D photonic crystal enable to increase the absorption between 380 and 750 nm.

摘要：Elevated working temperatures reduce the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells （DSCs）, and effective temperature regulation protects them from the undesirable efficiency loss. In this work, a semi-transparent DSC module equipped with a cooling sys- tem was designed and constructed for application in buildings, the temperature and output performance of the modules with or without cooling treatment were investigated. The test results showed the cooling system could noticeably improve the power generation and reduce the module temperature. Moreover, we established a mathematical model to analyze the modules＇ ther- mal performances, and introduced the concept of cooling efficiency to evaluate the cooling effect. The model accuracy have been validated utilizing measured data, and the effects of channel depth and mass flow rate on the module temperature and cooling efficiency were further theoretically studied. The combined DSC module has been found to have a good application prospect in building integrated photovoltaic （BIPV）, and the numerical results are important in system design.

摘要：Two improved algorithms are proposed to extend a diffractive optical element （DOE） to work under the broad spec- trum of sunlight. An optimum design has been found for the DOE, with a weighted average optical efficiency of about 6.8% better than that of the previous design. The optimization of designing high optical efficiency DOEs will pave the way for future designs of high-efficiency, low-cost lateral multijunction solar cells based on such a DOE.

摘要：Here,the interfacial synergism of discontinuous spot shaped SnO_2 and TiO_2 mesoporous nanocomposite as electron transfer layer（ETL） underlayer is presented in highly efficient mesoscopic perovskite solar cells（M-PSCs）. Based on this new strategy,strong charge recombination observed in previous SnO_2-based ETLs is suppressed to a great extent as the pathways of charge recombination and energy loss are blocked effectively. Meanwhile,the internal series resistance of entire M-PSC is decreased remarkably. The new ETL is more kinetically favorable to electron transfer and thus results in significant photovoltaic improvement and alleviated hysteresis effect of M-PSCs.

摘要：The pressure to reduce solar energy costs encourages efforts to reduce the thickness of silicon wafers. Thus, the cell bowing problem associated with the use of thin wafers has become increasingly important, as it can lead to the cracking of cells and thus to high yield losses. In this paper, a systematic .approach for simulating the cell bowing induced by the firing process is presented. This approach consists of three processes： （1） the material properties are determined using a nanoidentation test; （2） the thicknesses of aluminum （AI） paste and silver （Ag） busbars and fingers are measured using scanning electron microscopy; （3） non-linear finite element analysis （FEA） is used for simulating the cell bowing induced by the firing process. As a result, the bowing obtained using FEA simulation agrees better with the experimental data than that using the bowing calculations suggested in literature. In addition, the total in-plane residual stress state in the wafer/cell due to the firing process can be determined using the FEA simulation. A detailed analysis of the firing-induced stress state in single crystalline silicon （sc-Si）, cast, and edge-defined film-fed growth （EFG） multi-crystalline silicon wafers of different thicknesses is presented. Based on this analysis, a simple residual stress calculation is developed to estimate the maximum in-plane principal stress in the wafers. It is also proposed that the metallization pattern, Ag busbars and fingers screen printed on the front of a solar cell, can be designed using this approach. A practical case ofa 3-busbar Si solar cell is presented.
