Abstract

페로브스카이트 태양전지는 지난 5년간 광전변환효율이 약 10%에서 22%로 증가하는 급속한 발전으로 주목 받고 있으며, 현재 대면적 공정개발 및 안정성 향상 등의 상용화 기반기술에 대한 연구개발 역시 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이와 동시에, 페로브스카이트는 실리콘 태양전지(1.1eV), CIGS 태양전지(1.1~1.2 eV)와 비교하여 상대적으로 높은 밴드갭에너지(>1.5eV)를 가지고, 할라이드 물질 조성 제어를 통해 쉽게 밴드갭에너지를 조절할 수 있으며, 저온 용액 공정이 가능한 특성에 기인하여 페로브스카이트 태양전지를 상부셀로 이용한 탠덤 태양전지에 대한 다양한 시도가 이루어 지고 있다. 페로브스카이트의 흡광계수, 반사율 등 광학적 특성에서 기인하는 요소들을 고려하면 직렬 형태의 이중접합에서 최대 32%의 광전변환효율 얻을 수 있을 것으로 예측된다. 따라서 본 원고에서는 페로브스카이트, 실리콘 및 Cu(In, Ga) $(S,Se)_2$ (CIGS) 같은 다양한 태양전지와 함께 페로브스카이트 태양전지를 활용하는 탠덤태양전지의 현재 연구 동향을 논의하고자 한다.
