Popis: | Limitations on the open-circuit voltage of p-ZnTe/n-ZnSe heterojunction solar cells are studied via current-voltage (I-V) measurements under solar concentration and at variable temperature. The open-circuit voltage reaches a maximum value of 1.95 V at 77 K and 199 suns. The open-circuit voltage shows good agreement with the calculated built-in potential of 2.00 V at 77 K. These results suggest that the open-circuit voltage is limited by heterojunction band offsets associated with the type-II heterojunction band lineup, rather than the bandgap energy of the ZnTe absorber material. |
