GaAs/AlGaAs Nanowire Array Solar Cell Grown on Si with Ultrahigh Power-per-Weight Ratio

Abstract: Here we demonstrate a more effective use of III−V photoconversion material to achieve an ultrahigh power-per-weight ratio from a solar cell utilizing an axial p-i-n junction GaAs/AlGaAs nanowire (NW) array grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a Si substrate. By analyzing single NW multicontact devices, we first show that an n-GaAs shell is self-formed radially outside the axial p-and i-core of the GaAs NW during n-core growth, which significantly deteriorates the rectification property of the NWs in the axial di… Show more

“…Compared with 2D materials, NWs are more suitable for high integration and low power consumption synaptic devices. Nowadays, NWs have been integrated into diodes [30], field effect transistors (FETs) [31], memories [32], photodetectors [33], solar cells [34], and synaptic devices [19,23,35]. Based on the basic synaptic functionalities of NW-based synaptic devices, NWs can be constructed for neuromorphic computing.…”

“…10 Given that ternary III-V compositions are difficult to control and less studied than binary compounds, most efforts in the photovoltaics community have been focused on fabricating GaAs-based NW solar cells. [11][12][13][14][15] To date, the best GaAs NW on Si tandem solar cell has reached an efficiency of 11.4%, 16 while the best single junction GaAs NW solar cell directly grown on Si has demonstrated an efficiency of 7.7%. 15 So far, the performances of GaAs NW solar cells grown on Si have been primarily limited by their open-circuit voltage (V OC < 0.62 V for NW array solar cells 15 ).…”

Note that in the same study, a V OC of 0.77 V was obtained for a single NW solar cell, however the direct comparison with NW array solar cells is difficult and should consider the fact that a single NW absorbs light from an area, the absorption crosssection, much larger than its geometrical cross-section.…”
