Tandem solar cells combine multiple photovoltaic materials to improve energy conversion efficiency. Typically, a perovskite layer is placed on top of a silicon or other semiconductor layer to capture different wavelengths of sunlight more effectively.
Key Principles of Tandem Solar Cells:
1️⃣ Sunlight Absorption – The top perovskite layer absorbs high-energy (short-wavelength) light, while the bottom silicon layer absorbs lower-energy (long-wavelength) light.
2️⃣ Electron-Hole Pair Generation – Light excites electrons in both layers, creating free electrons and holes.
3️⃣ Charge Transport – Electrons flow through different transport layers, reducing energy loss.
4️⃣ External Circuit Connection – The electrons travel through an external circuit, generating usable electricity.
