6 FAQs about [Diffusion length of solar cells]

What is the diffusion length of a solar cell?

In silicon, the lifetime can be as high as 1 msec. For a single crystalline silicon solar cell, the diffusion length is typically 100-300 µm. These two parameters give an indication of material quality and suitability for solar cell use. The diffusion length is related to the carrier lifetime by the diffusivity according to the following formula:

How long is exciton diffusion in organic bulk heterojunction solar cells?

The short-range diffusion length of organic semiconductors severely limits exciton harvesting and charge generation in organic bulk heterojunction solar cells. Here, the authors report exciton diffusion length in the range of 20 to 47 nm for a wide range of non-fullerene acceptors molecules.

What is a 1D diffusion length in a planar heterojunction solar cell?

In planar heterojunction solar cells the 1D diffusion length defines the thickness of the donor and acceptor layers to be used. To absorb the incident light efficiently in a bilayer, the combined donor and acceptor layer thicknesses should be around 100 nm.

What is exciton diffusion length in organic photovoltaics?

Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative The short exciton diffusion length associated with most classical organic semiconductors used in organic photovoltaics (5-20 nm) imposes severe limits on the maximum size of the donor and acceptor domains within the photoactive layer of the cell.

What is a good electron diffusion length for a perovskite solar cell?

Long, balanced electron and hole diffusion lengths greater than 100 nanometers in the polycrystalline organolead trihalide compound CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 are critical for highly efficient perovskite solar cells.

What is the optimal 1D diffusion length in OPV materials?

The optimized 1D diffusion length in OPV materials is ∼20 nm (Table 1) and limits the efficiency of solar cells made using a bilayer. Further increase in exciton transport distance is necessary to make bilayer technology attractive for solar cell applications, possibly by combining long LD with layer-to-layer FRET or energy cascade.
