【文章名】Non-ideal energy selective contacts and their effect on the performance of a hot carrier solar cell with an indium nitride absorber - art. no. 053502
[摘要]：The hot carrier solar cell is a third generation photovoltaic device that extracts photo-generated carriers before they thermalise. In this work, the efficiency of a hot carrier solar cell with a 50 nm indium nitride (InN) absorber layer has been calculated, taking into account the realistic transport properties of energy selective contacts. The cell performance has been modeled considering the carrier extraction through contacts as ballistic. A potential practical implementation of a hot carrier solar cell, with contacts based on an InXGa1-XN/InN/InXGa1-XN quantum well structure, has been proposed, with calculated maximum efficiency of 37.15% under 1000 suns.
