By analyzing key device metrics such as fill factor (FF), open-circuit voltage (V OC ), short-circuit current (J SC ), and power conversion efficiency (PCE), you can not only evaluate the effectiveness of your solar cell devices but also diagnose potential issues and identify areas for improvement.
These techniques include measurements of the solar cell's current–voltage (IV) curve, external quantum efficiency (EQE), capacitance–voltage (CV) curve, and transient photovoltage (TPV) response. IV curves provide information on the solar cell's maximum power output, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and fill factor.
A Kelvin or four-wire measurement is essential to getting accurate IV data while testing a solar cell. A variable load is applied across the four wires in order to get a variety of current and voltage measurements for the device under test. Exactly what current and voltage is unknown until tested, which is why there is some iteration needed.
Here, we have some examples of common issues seen in solar cell I-V curves. These were tested on aged perovskite devices. If you notice a linear current-voltage relationship instead of the characteristic I-V shape in your solar cell, it could indicate that your device is functioning as an ohmic resistor rather than a solar cell.
The I–V curve of a solar cell represents the relationship between the current and voltage output of the solar cell under various conditions of illumination and temperature. It is a graph that plots the current produced by the solar cell against the voltage applied to the cell. The I–V curve of a Si solar cell is shown in Fig. 8.5.
These were tested on aged perovskite devices. If you notice a linear current-voltage relationship instead of the characteristic I-V shape in your solar cell, it could indicate that your device is functioning as an ohmic resistor rather than a solar cell. In simpler terms, there is a direct pathway, or short-cut, between the contacts of your device.
