6 FAQs about [Absorber layer thickness for solar cells]
How thick is a solar cell absorber?
In our planar type solar cell, the absorber thickness was varied from 100 nm to 1000 nm. When a 100 nm thick absorber layer is used, photogenerated current is low. However, charge extraction is high, as evidenced from a high Voc (open circuit voltage), which is an indication of less recombination.
How does absorber thickness affect the performance of a perovskite solar cell?
Absorber thickness is one among keys parameters that can have significant effects on the performance of the solar cell. An appropriate absorber thickness should be chosen to optimize the performance of the cell.The main objective of this work is to offer a perovskite solar cell with high efficiency using a suitable thickness of the active layer.
Does absorber thickness affect solar power?
However, it's important to note that variations in absorber thickness can also impact the maximum power and fill factor of the solar cell. An increase in absorber thickness may lead to a decrease in maximum power since some of the incoming solar light can be reflected and not contribute to electricity generation.
Does absorber thickness affect cell efficiency?
The thickness and doping density of both the absorber and hole transport layer (HTL) were varied to examine their influence on V oc, J sc, fill factor, and efficiency. Cell efficiency improved from about 20% to 28% mainly due to an enhancement of J sc from 17 mA/cm² to 25 mA/cm², depending on the absorber thickness between 100 and 1000 nm.
How thick is a cell adsorber?
The absorber thickness in a cell is around 500 nm. Depending upon deposition techniques, diffusion lengths from 100 nm to 1 µm have been reported (Xing et al., 2013, Edri et al., 2014). For longer diffusion lengths (>500 nm), one can expect the thickness to be independent of device performance.
How does a solar cell absorber thickness affect voltage and FF?
Specifically, it is observed that Voc and FF decrease as the thickness increases, primarily due to the rise in series resistance. In general, an increase in absorber thickness can result in higher values for two key parameters of the solar cell: short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage.
