Local collection efficiency in nano-crystalline solar cells
In brief
A geometrical model, based on the random nature of diffusion, for how efficiently a nanocrystalline solar cell collects electrons generated at each depth.
Key results- Derives a general form of the total collection efficiency, η = 1 − τ(IMPS)/τ(IMVS), valid for any solar cell.
- Proposes a direct way to estimate the electron diffusion length from IMPS and IMVS measurements.
