We are proud to announce that our paper titled "The Role of Thermalization in the Cooling Dynamics of Hot Carrier Solar Cells" has been published in the journal Solar RRL.
In this manuscript, we study the theoretical feasibility of the hot carrier solar cell (HCSC) concept which has been proposed as a means to overcome the Shockley Queisser limit of a single p-n junction solar cell. A promising family of materials for this purpose are metal halide perovskites (MPHs). Using the Ensemble Monte Carlo code ViennaEMC developed in Lado's group, and with a close collaboration with colleagues from the University of Groningen, we describe how pervoksites should be tuned in order to realize a HCSC, contributing to the long-standing debate on the physics behind the cooling times observed in MHPs and their suitability for HCSC design.
Congratulations to all co-authors!
