Fullerene-Based Heterojunctions for Non-Selective Absorption Transparent Solar Cells.

ABSTRACT: Transparent photovoltaic (TPV) devices have great potential to be applied as smart windows in construction and agriculture fields. TPVs with an average visible transmission (AVT) exceeding 50% are among the strong candidates to build lighting windows since the champion efficiency has already exceeded 10%. However, it is still a challenge in TPVs that semiconductors are generally expensive and transparency is difficult to further enhance, particularly for device AVT exceeding 70%. In this work, we develop a set of fullerene-based heterojunctions to harvest the light. By utilizing the low-cost fullerene as the light-absorbing material and combining it with the transparent electrode, the fabricated TPV device can achieve an AVT of 72.1% with a PCE exceeding 1%. Notably, the device with an AVT
