Multi junction concepts for photovoltaics and artificial photosynthesis: Critical points of current and future high-performance solar energy conversion — •Thomas Hannappel — Technische Universität Ilmenau, Department of Physics, Ilmenau, Germany

By far the highest solar energy conversion efficiencies have been achieved so far, when employing III-V-based semiconductor layer structures in multi junction approaches for optimum exploitation of the solar spectrum [1-3]. In these record-breaking multi-layer structures, interfaces are the most crucial parts in different regards. In devices for direct water splitting the solid-liquid interface is in particular delicate towards (photo)electrochemical corrosion and charge transfer. An interface with low-defect density between silicon and III-V compounds would be a major breakthrough and would not only add to solar energy conversion, but all kinds of opto-electronic devices.

To accelerate progress in these fields, it is essential to gain an atomic-scale understanding of critical and essential heterojunction preparation, including the complex physico-chemical processes and interface formations [4,5]. Here, we will present original analysis to scrutinise state-of-the-art preparation and to develop future solar energy conversion routes with multi junction concepts.
