Shockley-Queisser detailed-balance efficiency limit eta_max(E_g)

Layer 1 — Physicsin the Energy Materials subtree

Shockley-Queisser limit (Shockley-Queisser 1961 *J Appl Phys* 32, 510) is the maximum power-conversion efficiency eta_max of a single-junction p-n photovoltaic cell as a function of its bandgap E_g, derived from radiative detailed balance:…
