The photovoltaic sector is now led by silicon solar cells because of their well-established technology and relatively high efficiency. Currently, industrially made silicon solar modules have an efficiency between 16% and 22% (Anon (2023b)).
Conventional solar cells consist of crystalline semiconductors based on Si, Ge, and GaAs. Such solar cells possess higher efficiency and stability than polycrystalline solar cells, and SC-PSCs are inferior to PC-PSCs in terms of efficiency.
Thus, our thin- Si photonic crystal solar cell offers 2.7% (additive) higher conversion efficiency than the limiting efficiency of a Lambertian cell with practical doping configurations and loss mechanisms. Table 5 compares the performance of our inverted pyramid PhC IBC solar cell with the hypothetical Lambertian solar cell.
The low PCE of the device resulted in a mismatched band alignment with a shorter carrier diffusion length, which limited the performance of the single-crystal solar cell .
Single crystal based solar cells as the big new wave in perovskite photovoltaic technology. Potential growth methods for the SC perovskite discussed thoroughly. Surface trap management via various techniques is broadly reviewed. Challenges and potential strategies are discussed to achieve stable and efficient SC-PSCs.
Therefore, single-crystal perovskite solar cells (SC-PSCs) have recently received significant attention in the fabrication of highly efficient and stable PSCs owing to their synergistic properties. The development of advanced SC-PSCs represents a promising pathway to fabricate highly efficient and stable perovskite-based solar cells.
