A colored solar cell based on photonic crystals (multilayer dielectric stacks) produced using the same fabrication tools like Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) or Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) used for solar cell production is a novel concept.
The trend in the J sc for the RGB colored solar cell is similar to the EQE trend with Blue coating solar cell having a maximum J sc of 28 mA/cm 2 and Red coating cell having a minimum J sc of 24 mA/cm 2. These results on the device verify our EQE results and are in line with our transmission data as well.
The SMART coating has been applied to silicon solar cells to demonstrate the proof of concept and the optical and electrical properties are studied. The Integrated Transmittance of the RGB colored SMART coating is more than 70% in the solar spectrum and ∼ 60% for white SMART coating.
In the inverted solar cell, electromagnetic waves entering from the bottom of the solar cell will reach the PBG without being absorbed from the active region and the wavelength part corresponding to the reflection spectrum of the PBG will be reflected to the active region.
This is because, in this region, the electric field intensity is heightened due to the photons being reflected back into the structure. Additionally, the distribution within the solar cell is higher in the NIR region, similar to the AVT max, in the PTB7:PC 71 BM layer, which is the active region.
These cells leverage the unique properties of polymers to enhance flexibility, transparency, and efficiency in solar energy conversion. Polymer material-based OSC are easily fabricated, flexible, and can be applied semi-transparently, offering numerous advantages.
