Third-generation photovoltaic cells are solar cells that are potentially able to overcome the Shockley–Queisser limit of 31–41% power efficiency for single bandgap solar cells. This includes a range of alternatives to cells made of semiconducting p-n junctions ("first generation") and thin film cells ("second generation").
The typical organic solar cell or plastic solar cell consists of a transparent conducting oxide substrate (usually indium-coated tin oxide (ITO)), hole transporting layer (HTL), active layer, electron transporting layer (ETL) and cathode. The different configurations of organic solar cell are schematically given in Fig. 7.2.
We demonstrate triple-junction efficiencies of 39.5% and 34.2% under the AM1.5 global and AM0 space spectra, respectively, and the global efficiency is higher than previous record six-junction devices. III-V tandem solar cells exhibit the highest efficiencies of any materials system and are well suited to applications that highly value efficiency.
The majority of the solar electric market is made up of silicon-based devices. In silicon cells, the silicon acts as both the antenna (or electron donor, technically) as well as the electron valve. Silicon is widely available, relatively inexpensive and has a bandgap that is ideal for solar collection.
The categories of third-generation solar cells include dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs), organic solar cells and currently emerging hybrid perovskite solar cells.
These cells are most useful for area-constrained terrestrial applications and low-radiation space missions, where efficiency is critical. As these are the highest efficiency one-sun solar cells as of this writing, these cells also set a new standard for achievable efficiency across all photovoltaic technologies.
