The Shockley–Queisser limit, zoomed in near the region of peak efficiency. In a traditional solid-state semiconductor such as silicon, a solar cell is made from two doped crystals, one an n-type semiconductor, which has extra free electrons, and the other a p-type semiconductor, which is lacking free electrons, referred to as "holes."
The Shockley-Queisser limit for the efficiency of a single-junction solar cell under unconcentrated sunlight. This calculated curve uses actual solar spectrum data, and therefore the curve is wiggly from IR absorption bands in the atmosphere. This efficiency limit of about 34% can be exceeded by multijunction solar cells.
The Shockley equation doesn't model noise (such as Johnson–Nyquist noise from the internal resistance, or shot noise). The Shockley equation is a constant current (steady state) relationship, and thus doesn't account for the diode's transient response , which includes the influence of its internal junction and diffusion capacitance and ...
William Bradford Shockley Jr. (February 13, 1910 – August 12, 1989) was an American inventor, physicist, and eugenicist.He was the manager of a research group at Bell Labs that included John Bardeen and Walter Brattain.
In particular I'm referring to the statement: "Solar cell efficiency of semiconductors has been calculated theoretically with Shockley-Quiesser limit for 60 years. However, recently Shockley-Quiesser limit has been shown to be incorrect and updated by Burak Ozdemir and Veronica Barone and it is called Ozdemir-Barone method."
However, the current graphical QE analysis still cannot reflect the second intrinsic loss in the efficiency of solar cells, radiative recombination. To take the radiative recombination into account, we need to evaluate the radiative current density, J rad, first. According to Shockley and Queisser method, [29] J rad can be approximated as follows.
In Shockley-Read-Hall recombination (SRH), also called trap-assisted recombination, the electron in transition between bands passes through a new energy state (localized state) created within the band gap by a dopant or a defect in the crystal lattice; such energy states are called traps. Non-radiative recombination occurs primarily at such sites.
