Abstract

Quantum Dot Intermediate Band Solar Cell
(QDIBSC) is one of the emerging technologies in the solar
photovoltaic arena, which has immense potential to be
demonstrated as a high efficiency device. For a QDIBSC to
surpass the efficiency of a single junction cell, optimization of
design is required. In this work, a QDIBSC model based on
In0.53Ga0.47As quantum dots has been designed and evaluated
with respect to dot size and spacing. The impact of carrier
lifetime on short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage is
studied. The conversion efficiency has been enhanced from
27.1% to 32.62% as compared to a conventional single junction
cell.
