Hot carrier solar cell is proposed where charge carriers are cooled adiabatically in the charge transport layers adjoining the absorber. The device resembles an ideal thermoelectric converter where thermopower and therefore also carrier entropy are maintained constant during cooling from the temperature attained in the absorber to the temperature at contacts.

通过绝热冷却的热载流子太阳能电池


提出了热载流子太阳能电池，其中电荷载流子在与吸收器相邻的电荷传输层中绝热冷却。该器件类似于理想的热电转换器，其中热功率和载流子熵在从吸收器中达到的温度到触点处的温度的冷却过程中保持恒定。
