TRIDENS: TRansport In DEfected Nanoparticle Solids Simulator for Nanoparticle Solar Cells

摘要

The efficiency of Nanoparticle (NP) solar cells has grown impressively in recent years, reaching 16.6%. However, the carrier mobility in NP solar cells remains low, thus critically limiting their performance. Therefore, understanding carrier transport in NP solids is important to further improve the overall efficiency of NP PV technology. However, it is technically challenging to simulate experimental scale samples, as physical processes from atomic to mesoscopic scales all crucially impact transport. Here, we report the development of TRIDENS: the TRansport In Defected Nanoparticle Solids Simulator, for Nanoparticle Solar Cells, to capture the physics from all relevant length scales.
