Crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cell is to date the most successfully commercialized solar cell. One of the factors which limit the efficiency of c-Si solar cell is a “spectral mismatch”. The mismatch can be removed by modifying the solar spectrum: converting the near UV and blue region of the spec...
