Unlike single solar cells, tandem cells stack different materials together. This lets them absorb more types of sunlight. The trick is the order in which these cells are stacked. The top layers handle blue light, then green and red light are absorbed below. This way, all the sunlight that hits the cells is used efficiently to make power.
One big problem with regular solar cells is losing power due to heat or missed light. Tandem cells tackle this issue. They choose materials carefully to avoid these losses. This way, more of the sun’s energy gets turned into power. Tandem cells also handle light changes well and stay good for a long time.
Organic tandem solar cells have been achieved either via vacuum deposition or solution process , or a combination. In the following, we will first review the progress in vacuum deposited organic tandem solar cells, followed by the solution processed polymer solar cells in the last decade.
Tandem solar cells tackle this by using more than one material. This design captures more solar spectrum, boosting tandem solar cell efficiency. It makes better use of solar energy than single-junction cells do. We aim for better tandem solar cell efficiency to meet rising demand for renewable energy. Tandem cells can pull in more solar spectrum.
The EQE from 600 to 900 nm is about 45 % in average. Later, the same group used this polymer and another highly performing wide bandgap polymer to fabricate a tandem solar cell. Efficiency as high as 9.4 % was achieved using an inverted device structure [ 53 ].
