Photon upconversion assisted ferroelectric photovoltaics: Device configuration with multifaceted influence in augmenting the photovoltaic response of BiFeO3 thin‐film solar cells

This work presents a novel paradigm for upconversion‐assisted ferroelectric photovoltaic devices. The system comprises a ferroelectric active layer (BiFeO3), an upconverter layer (Yb; Er‐doped ZnO), a conductive ITO‐coated glass substrate, and a reflective coating (Al) at the rear end of the glass s...

description This work presents a novel paradigm for upconversion‐assisted ferroelectric photovoltaic devices. The system comprises a ferroelectric active layer (BiFeO3), an upconverter layer (Yb; Er‐doped ZnO), a conductive ITO‐coated glass substrate, and a reflective coating (Al) at the rear end of the glass substrate. The photovoltaic efficiency of the single‐layer BFO was found to be 0.71%. With the prescribed device model, the total solar efficiency of BiFeO3 improved significantly and touched solar conversion efficiency of 2.21%. This model's projection widens the future perspectives of device performance in emerging photovoltaic technology, mainly perovskite‐based solar cells. This work presents a novel paradigm for upconversion‐assisted ferroelectric photovoltaic devices. Heterojunction systems like this one have a multifaceted impact on the overall device performance and photovoltaic efficiency by a significant amount.
