Nonequilibrium Theory of the Conversion Efficiency Limit of Solar Cells Including Thermalization and Extraction of Carriers

Nonequilibrium Theory of the Conversion Efficiency Limit of Solar Cells Including Thermalization and Extraction of Carriers

The ideal solar cell conversion efficiency limit known as the Shockley-Queisser (SQ) limit, which is based on a detailed balance between absorption and radiation, has long been a target for solar cell researchers. While the theory for this limit uses several assumptions, the requirements in real devices have not been …
