Exploring bulk photovoltaic effect in materials for better solar cells

Exploring bulk photovoltaic effect in materials for better solar cells

The bulk photovoltaic (BPV) effect represents a remarkable opportunity to surpass the limitations of traditional pn junction solar cells. A recent breakthrough study conducted by Japanese researchers has successfully demonstrated the BPV effect in alpha-phase indium selenide (-In2Se3) along the out-of-plane direction, aligning with previous theoretical predictions. The recorded high conversion efficiency of their -In2Se3
