Detailed balance calculations for hot-carrier solar cells: coupling high absorptivity with low thermalization through light trapping
Hot-carrier solar cells could enable an efficiency gain compared to conventional cells, provided that a high current can be achieved, together with a hot-carrier population. Because the thermalization rate is proportional to the volume of the absorber, a fundamental requirement is to maximize the de...
