The luminescent coupling effect in a multijunction solar cell is known to help achieve current matching among subcells through carrier redistribution. We demonstrate the carrier redistribution in III-V multijunction solar cell devices using a moisture-resistant, all-inorganic perovskite quantum dot (PQD) film. This hydrophobic PQD film was applied on a full III-V multijunction solar cell device. This successfully demonstrated current redistribution vertically, shown by the increased current collection in the lower bandgap subcells, and laterally, as observed from improved current collection homogeneity in the lower bandgap subcell adjacent to the higher bandgap subcell where the luminescence originated. |
