Theoretical Study of the Effects of Carrier Transport, Capture, and Escape Processes on Solar Cells with Embedded Nanostructures

Figure 3

Total output photocurrent (normalized to the photocurrent contributed from nanostructures ) as a function of the carrier transport time at different ratios of carrier lifetime in nanostructures and the carrier escape time ( ). Here, the carrier capture time is assumed to be 1 ps and the carrier lifetime of the bulk material is 1 ns.
