Abstract:

The application of high speed computers to simulate physical devices has pioneered many scientific advances in recent times. With a suitable model to simulate their activity, solar cells are excellent candidates for such applications. In this work, a computer program has been developed which models an N+-P-P+ solar cell in one dimension. This model is structured to allow solar cells of different materials to be used in the program, however, only silicon is used here in order to demonstrate the capabilities of the program.For purposes of simplicity, the following conditions are assumed.

With looming energy crisis across the globe, achieving high efficiency and low cost solar cells have long been the key objective for photovoltaic researchers. III-V compound semiconductor based multijunction solar cells have been the dominant choice for space power due to their superior performance compared to any other existing solar cell technologies. In spite of unmatched performance of III-V solar cells, Si cells have dominated the terrestrial market due to their lower cost.

Abstract:

Els avenços en les tecnologies d'energia renovable encara permeten obtenir bons rendiments amb un cost menor que els preus dels combustibles fòssils. L'energia fotovoltaica (cèl·lules solars) és la tecnologia d'energia solar més desenvolupada pel fet que converteix directament l'energia de la llum solar en electricitat. Les cèl·lules solars orgàniques basades en polímers: materials de fullerne (PSC) es consideren una font d'energia prometedora de baix cost. Avui dia, els PSC han d'exhibir alta eficiència, llarga vida útil, fabricació de baix cost i qualitats amigables amb el medi ambient per a

Abstract:

Organic solar cells using carbon based materials have the potential to deliver cheap solar electricity. The aim is to be able to produce solar cells with common printing techniques on flexible substrates, and as organic materials can be made soluble in various solvents, they are well adapted to such techniques. There is a large variation of organic materials produced for solar cells, both small molecules and polymers. Alterations of the molecular structure induce changes of the electrical and optical properties, such as band gap, mobility and light absorption. During the development of organic

Abstract:

This dissertation computationally and analytically investigates ways to model solar cells when the lateral motion of charge carriers and light are relevant. We focus on back-contact perovskite solar cells, and assessing the experimental technique of scanning photocurrent microscopy as a means to investigate them. Solar cells are three-dimensional objects frequently modelled as being one-dimensional. However, for more complex designs of solar cell or if the cell is only point-illuminated, one-dimensional modelling is insufficient. In the first study, some conditions for reducing the complexity

Abstract:

Photovoltaic (PV) technologies could provide abundant, clean and secure energy through the conversion of sunlight into electricity, but currently are too expensive to compete with conventional sources of power. Novel PV devices incorporating nanostructured materials, such as the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC), have been identified as viable, low-cost alternatives to traditional solar cell designs. In spite of technological progress in the field over the last twenty years, the underlying physics governing DSC operation is still not well understood. In this thesis, first-principles (i.e. parame
