Sputtered Transparent Electrodes (IO:H and IZO) with Low Parasitic Near-Infrared Absorption for Perovskite–Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Tandem Solar Cells

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Hybrid lead halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in tandem application with copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) solar cells represent one of the most promising all-thin-film technologies for next-generation photovoltaic devices. To minimize parasitic near-infrared (NIR) absorption losses in the electrodes, this work advances hydrogen-doped indium oxide (IO:H) and indium zinc oxide (IZO) electrodes for semitransparent perovskite solar cells. The total NIR absorptance (800–1300 nm) of the perovskite top cell is reduced to <7%, maximizing the bottom cell output current. Already taking first steps toward up-scaling, the perovskite active area is increased to match the CIGS active area of 0.5 cm 2, and the R S is optimized by the implementation of a metal grid. The semitransparent perovskite solar cell reaches a power conversion efficiency of 15%. Combined with a CIGS bottom solar cell, a 4-terminal-tandem solar cell with 23% power conversion efficiency is demonstrated. We conduct detailed current loss analyses of the complete tandem devices to monitor and evaluate the improvements of this work.
