Silicon solar cells are the most broadly utilized of all solar cell due to their high photo-conversion efficiency even as single junction photovoltaic devices. Besides, the high relative abundance of silicon drives their preference in the PV landscape.
Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Silicon solar cells are a mainstay of commercialized photovoltaics, and further improving the power conversion efficiency of large-area and flexible cells remains an important research objective1,2.
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)).
In a typical solar cell, silicon (Si) performs two jobs: it produces photoelectrons and creates an electric field that separates charges and produces current. While photoelectrons are produced by photosensitive dyes, the majority of the semiconductor in DSSCs primarily serves as a charge transporter (Bose et al., 2015).
Approximately 89% of the global solar cell market is made up of first-generation solar cells [2, 3]. Crystalline silicon was used in the first generation of solar cells. Despite the benefits of silicon materials in PhotoVoltaics, they have a low energy conversion efficiency of 27.6% and a high manufacturing cost.
Photovoltaic (PV) conversion of solar energy starts to give an appreciable contribution to power generation in many countries, with more than 90% of the global PV market relying on solar cells based on crystalline silicon (c-Si). The current efficiency record of c-Si solar cells is 26.7%, against an intrinsic limit of ~29%.
