Theoretical Study of the Effects of Carrier Transport, Capture, and Escape Processes on Solar Cells with Embedded Nanostructures
Figure 4
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 the bulk material and the carrier capture time (). Note that the dot line indicates the photocurrent contributed from the bulk host material and the nanostructures at very small carrier transport time. Here, the carrier escape time is assumed to be 1 ps and the carrier lifetime of nanostructures is 1 ns.
