This project explores the development of nanorectennas to enhance solar cell efficiency beyond traditional limits. By utilizing advanced theoretical modeling and experimental studies, it aims to optimize the design of these devices for better energy conversion.
The efficiency of traditional semiconductor solar cells is subject to a fundamental limitation, known as the Shockley-Queisser recombination limit, and is found to be near 30 per cent.
The invention in the early eighties of solar cell rectifying antennas (rectennas) - a combination of an optical antenna and a rectifying diode to efficiently absorb the incident solar radiation and directly convert the ac field across the antenna into the dc power - provides a way to overcome the limitation.
