Hierarchical Junction Solar Cells: Theory guides Experiements

Cel

Light harvesting and the conversion of solar energy into other usable forms of energy is currently one of the most challenging topics on the field of renewable energy. Different possible scenarios exist to achieve this goal, some are based on solar thermal power and others on a variety of pathways for artificial photosynthesis. Perhaps the most promising approach is based on direct conversion of solar energy into electric current using photovoltaic cells. Needless to say, any significant advancement in cheap, accessible, photovoltaic technology will have a tremendous impact on the world energy economy. The overall goal of this proposal is to develop enabling technology needed to realize breakthrough photo-conversion efficiencies for nanostructured thin film photovoltaic systems. We will meet this goal through fundamental physical understanding of the kinetic and photo-physical processes involved in the conversion of solar radiation into useful electrical current for these systems. Building on this understanding will enable the development of new nanoscale materials, device structures, and interconnection schemes that will transcend the limitations of current devices providing for efficiencies to support new classes of all-inorganic solar cell devices. At the heart of the present program is the collaborative experimental (Berkeley host) - theoretical (PI) scientific effort. We believe that the field of renewable energy calls for such a close, fruitful, and fertilizing program. It will generate new ideas, thoughts, and directions required for a major paradigm shift in these systems. Furthermore, it will open novel directions for fundamental and applicable research for years to come.
