ABSTRACT
Increasing the power conversion efficiency of silicon (Si) photovoltaics is a key enabler for continued reductions in cost solar electricity. Here, we describe two-terminal perovskite/Si tandem design that increases Si cell's output simplest possible manner: by placing perovskite cell directly on top bottom cell. The advantageous omission conventional interlayer eliminates both optical losses and processing steps enabled low contact resistivity attainable between n-type TiO2 Si, established here using atomic layer deposition. We fabricated proof-of-concept tandems homojunction passivating heterojunction cells to demonstrate broad applicability interlayer-free concept. Stabilized efficiencies 22.9 24.1% were obtained tandems, respectively, which could be readily improved reducing elsewhere device. This work highlights potential emerging enable low-cost, high-efficiency devices through straightforward integration with commercially relevant cells.
