Guidelines for the bandgap combinations and absorption windows for organic tandem and triple-junction solar cells

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

Organic solar cells have narrow absorption windows, compared to the absorption band of inorganic semiconductors. A possible way to capture a wider band of the solar spectrum-and thus increasing the power conversion efficiency-is using more solar cells with different bandgaps in a row, i.e., a multi-junction solar cell. We calculate the ideal material characteristics (bandgap combinations and absorption windows) for an organic tandem and triple-junction solar cell, as well as their acceptable range. In this way, we give guidelines to organic material designers.
