Numerical Study of Quantum-Dot-Embedded Solar Cells
Abstract—A quantum-dot-embedded solar cell model with an-tireflection coating is proposed and studied numerically. The device model was designed by using MATLAB coding. A proper inclu-sion of quantum-dot-enhanced carrier absorption was achieved through a modified absorption coefficient and a structure depen-dent carrier lifetime.

For the embedded solar cells, we used silicon-based solar cells because of their high efficiency and good stability (Trompoukis et al., 2018, Breitenstein et al., 2018, Glunz and Feldmann, 2018). The pressure and time required for each lamination process were 26.5 kPa for 10 s, 85 kPa for 35 s, and 105 kPa for 70 min. The process temperature was maintained at …

Si-embedded metal oxide transparent solar cells
Transparent photovoltaic (TPV) is the technology of solar cells to convert light to electric energy. Different from the typically dark or opaque solar cells, TPV is transparent by passing the visible range lights. Metal-oxide semiconductor TPV was developed for short ultraviolet (UV) utilization.

Invisible, washable textile embedded solar cells for wearables
None of the cells or textiles were damaged during the process. "Now that the solar cell laminated between textiles has been proved to be machine-washable, we have to protect the rest of the components. Our idea is that all of the electric components of the smart textile could be in the same container with the solar cell.
