In conventional solar cells, photogenerated carriers lose part of their energy before they can be extracted to make electricity. The aim of hot-carrier solar cells is to extract the carriers before this energy loss, thereby turning more energy into electrical power. This requires extracting the carriers in a nonequilibrium (nonthermal) energy …
The best perovskite solar cells currently demonstrate more than 25% efficiencies, yet many fundamental processes that determine the operation of these devices are still not fully understood. In particular, even though the device performance strongly depends on charge carrier transport across the perovskite layer to selective electrodes, …
