Novel Model

A novel model for analyzing the conversion efficiency of mono-crystalline silicon solar cells is improved based on the detailed balance principle. The maximum theoretical conversion efficiency of the conventional planar mono-crystalline silicon solar cells has been updated to 27.94% according to the improved model. Furthermore this model is extending to cylindrical coordinates for estimating the radial p-n junction mono-crystalline silicon solar cells. A radial p-n junction mono-crystalline silicon solar cell with the highest conversion efficiency of 32.9% has been designed as that the radius of n-Si core is 1 µm, the radius of the cylinder is 40 µm, and the height of cylinder is 100 µm.

Detailed Balance Principle

The purpose of this paper is to find and analyze plane symmetric, static (non-static) solutions in Hořava–Lifshitz gravity. We discussed two versions of Horava gravity. First we show that if the detailed balance principle is considered, there are both static and non-static solutions. We show that in the static case there are two families of solvable models, either one of them having a well-defined EoS, analogous to the perfect fluid solutions in GR. In the non-static case we find a family of solutions. Some physical properties of these solutions are discussed. Secondly we investigated the plane symmetric solutions for a new modified version of Hořava gravity, which has the new terms of action inserted into it.

AbstractIn order to obtain the optimal photoelectric properties of vertical stacked MoS2/Si heterostructure solar cells, we propose a theoretical model to address the relationship among film thickness, atomic bond identities and related physical quantities in terms of bond relaxation mechanism and detailed balance principle. We find that the vertical stacked MoS2/Si can form type II band alignment, and its photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) enhances with increasing MoS2 thickness. Moreover, the optimal PCE in MoS2/Si can reach 24.76%, inferring that a possible design way can be achieved based on the layered transition metal dichalcogenides and silicon.
