Selenium was used in the first solid state solar cell in 1883 and gave early
insights into the photoelectric effect that inspired Einstein's Nobel Prize work;
however, the latest efficiency milestone of 5.0% was more than 30 years ago. The
recent surge of interest towards high-band gap absorbers for tandem applications
led us to reconsider this attractive 1.95?eV material. Here, we show completely
redesigned selenium devices with improved back and front interfaces optimized
through combinatorial studies and demonstrate record open-circuit voltage (V
(OC)) of 970?mV and efficiency of 6.5% under 1?Sun. In addition, Se devices are
air-stable, non-toxic, and extremely simple to fabricate. The absorber layer is
only 100?nm thick, and can be processed at 200??C, allowing temperature
compatibility with most bottom substrates or sub-cells. We analyze device
limitations and find significant potential for further improvement making
selenium an attractive high-band-gap absorber for multi-junction device
applications.Wide band gap semiconductors are important for the development of
tandem photovoltaics. By introducing buffer layers at the front and rear side of
solar cells based on selenium; Todorov et al., reduce interface recombination
losses to achieve photoconversion efficiencies of 6.5%.
