摘要
Multijunction stacked (tandem) solar cells can increase the overall photovoltaic conversion efficiency by optimal utilization of the solar spectrum in individual cells. We demonstrate that a photovoltaic tandem cell comprising a nanocrystalline dye-sensitized solar cell as a top cell for high-energy photons and a copper indium gallium selenide thin-film bottom cell for lower-energy photons produces AM 1.5 solar to electric conversion efficiencies greater than 15%.
