Numerical Modeling of Hybrid Solar/Thermal Conversion Efficiency Enhanced by Metamaterial Light Scattering for Ultrathin PbS QDs-STPV Cell

Ultrathin cells are gaining popularity due to their lower weight, reduced cost, and enhanced flexibility. However, compared to bulk cells, light absorption in ultrathin cells is generally much lower. This study presents a numerical simulation of a metamaterial light management structure made of ultr...
