Indium phosphide based solar cell using ultra-thin ZnO as an electron selective layer
Abstract
<p>According to the Shockley-Queisser limit, the maximum achievable efficiency for a single junction solar cell is ∼33.2% which corresponds to a bandgap (E <sub>g</sub>) of 1.35 eV (InP). However, the maximum reported efficiency for InP solar cells remain at 24.2% ± 0.5%, that is >25% below the standard Shockley-Queisser limit. Through a wide range of simulations, we propose a new device structure, ITO/ ZnO/i-InP/p<sup>+</sup> InP (p-i-ZnO-ITO) which might be able to fill this efficiency gap. Our simulation shows that the use of a thin ZnO layer improves passivation of the underlying i-InP layer and provides electron selectivity leading to significantly higher efficiency when compared to their n<sup>+</sup>/i/p<sup>+</sup> homojunction counterpart. As a proof-of-concept, we fabricated ITO/ZnO/i-InP solar cell on a p<sup>+</sup> InP substrate and achieved an open-circuit voltage (V <sub>oc</sub>) and efficiency as high as 819 mV and 18.12%, respectively, along with ∼90% internal quantum efficiency. The entire device fabrication process consists of four simple steps which are highly controllable and reproducible. This work lays the foundation for a new generation of thin film InP solar cells based solely on carrier selective heterojunctions without the requirement of extrinsic doping and can be particularly useful when p- and n-doping are challenging as in the case of III-V nanostructures.</p>
