Optical and electrical simulation of hybrid solar cell based on conjugated polymer and size-tunable CdSe quantum dots: Influence of the QDs size

Light-absorption enhancement design of ultrathin perovskite solar cells with conformal structure

“…Because the perovskite solar cell with conformal structure is periodic, the simulation can be conducted by simulating one-periodic structure, where P is defined as periodic length. Many different numerical methods have been used to calculate absorptivity of solar cells such as transfer matrix method (TMM) [22], finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD) [23,24], rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) [25] and finite element method (FEM) [26]. Compared with other numerical methods, the FDTD can be easy to calculate the distribution of electromagnetic field of arbitrary material and structure.…”

“…As a conventional PV device, crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells have dominated the global PV market with a share of >90% 5 [1]. However, in the past several years, a kind of new-type solar cells, perovskite solar cells, has attracted lots of attention with a rapid efficiency progressing from 3.8% in 2009 to 22.7% [2,3]. Key challenges like instabilities against the humidity and heat have also made important progress [4,5].…”

Numerical modeling of exciton impact in two crystalographic phases of the organo-lead halide perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) solar cell

“…It makes it possible to dense the grid closely to contact where the most abrupt changes are observed. All parameters have been fixed in space which seems to be a good approximation that has been already used for the simulation of perovskite [27,29] and other materials [24,41].…”
