How to correctly simulate the EQE of an organic tandem solar cell using full optoelectronic simulations
Learn how to accurately simulate the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of organic tandem solar cells with full optoelectronic models in SETFOS. Explore optical and electrical setups, EQE measurement techniques, and design optimizations.
Grid Optimization for Maximum Power Output of Large-area Organic Solar Cells
It is challenging to increase the device area of optoelectronic devices based on perovskite and organic materials without losing performance. One of the key issues is the high sheet resistance (Rs) of the transparent conductive oxide (TCO). Combining the TCO with a metallic grid reduces the ohmic losses, but what is the grid geometry that maximizes performance?
In this tutorial, we will show you, how to use the simulation software Laoss and its optimization feature to quickly find the grid geometrical features for maximum power output.
How to reduce loss channels and defects in large-area organic solar cells
Our 2D + 1D software LAOSS is a perfect tool to understand and improve on different upscaling strategies which combine 1D layer stack with 2D lateral simulations. In this blog post, we will discuss the findings by Matthias Diethelm and his colleagues who used LAOSS to simulate centimeter-sized organic solar cells to understand loss channels and macroscopic defects.
