Perovskite/Si tandem solar cells: Fundamentals, advances,challenges, and novel applications

The world record device efficiency of single-junction solar cells based on organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites has reached 25.5%.Further improvement in device power conversion efficiency(PCE)can be achieved by either optimizing perovskite films or designing novel device structures such as perovskite/Si tandem solar cells.With the marriage of perovskite and Si solar cells,a tandem device configuration is able to achieve a PCE exceeding the Shockley–Queisser limit of single-junction solar cells by enhancing the usage of solar spectrum.After several years of development,the highest PCE of the perovskite/Si tandem cell has reached 29.5%,which is higher than that of perovskite-and Si-based singlejunction cells.Here,in this review,we will(1)first discuss the device structure and fundamental working principle of both two-terminal(2T)and four-terminal(4T)perovskite/Si tandem solar cells;(2)second,provide a brief overview of the advances of perovskite/Si tandem solar cells regarding the development of interconnection layer,perovskite active layer,tandem device structure,and lightmanagement strategies;(3)third,discuss the challenges and opportunities for further developing perovskite/Si tandem solar cells.This review article,on the one hand,provides a comprehensive understanding to readers on the development of perovskite/Si tandems.On the other hand,it proposes various novel applications that may bring such tandems into the market in a near future.

Multi-GNSS products and services at iGMAS Wuhan Innovation Application Center:strategy and evaluation

Over the past years the International Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)Monitoring and Assessment System(iGMAS)Wuhan Innovation Application Center(IAC)dedicated to exploring the potential of multi-GNSS signals and providing a set of products and services.This contribution summarizes the strategies,achievements,and innovations of multi-GNSS orbit/clock/bias determination in iGMAS Wuhan IAC.Both the precise products and Real-Time Services(RTS)are evaluated and discussed.The precise orbit and clock products have comparable accuracy with the precise products of the International GNSS Service(IGS)and iGMAS.The multi-frequency code and phase bias products for Global Positioning System(GPS),BeiDou Navigation Satellite System(BDS),Galileo navigation satellite system(Galileo),and GLObal NAvigation Satellite System(GLONASS)are provided to support multi-GNSS and multi-frequency Precise Point Positioning(PPP)Ambiguity Resolution(AR).Compared with dual-frequency PPP AR,the time to first fix of triple-frequency solution is improved by 30%.For RTS,the proposed orbit prediction strategy improves the three dimensional accuracy of predicted orbit by 1 cm.The multi-thread strategy and high-performance matrix library are employed to accelerate the real-time orbit and clock determination.The results with respect to the IGS precise products show the high accuracy of RTS orbits and clocks,4–9 cm and 0.1–0.2 ns,respectively.Using real-time satellite corrections,real-time PPP solutions achieve satisfactory performance with horizontal and vertical positioning errors within 2 and 4 cm,respectively,and convergence time of 16.97 min.

Orbit and clock products for quad-system satellites with undifferenced ambiguity fixing approach

Integer Ambiguity Resolution(IAR)can significantly improve the accuracy of GNSS Precise Orbit Determination(POD).Traditionally,the IAR in POD is achieved at the Double Differenced(DD)level.In this contribution,we develop an Un-Differenced(UD)IAR method for Global Positioning System(GPS)+BeiDou Navigation Satellite System(BDS)+Galileo navigation satellite system(Galileo)+Global'naya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema(GLONASS)quad-system POD by calibrating UD ambiguities in the raw carrier phase and generating the so-called carrier range.Based on this method,we generate the UD ambiguity-fixed orbit and clock products for the Wuhan Innovation Application Center(IAC)of the International GNSS Monitoring and Assessment System(iGMAS).One-year observations in 2020 from 150 stations are employed to investigate performance of orbit and clock products.Notably,the UD Ambiguity Resolution(AR)yields more resolved integer ambiguities than the traditional DD AR,scaling up to 9%,attributable to its avoidance of station baseline formation.Benefiting from the removal of ambiguity parameters,the computational efficiency of parameter estimation undergoes a substantial 70%improvement.Compared with the float solution,the orbit consistencies of UD AR solution achieve the accuracy of 1.9,5.2,2.8,2.1,and 2.7 cm for GPS,BeiDou-2 Navigation Satellite System(BDS-2),BeiDou-3 Navigation Satellite System(BDS-3),Galileo,and GLONASS satellites respectively,reflecting enhancements of 40%,24%,54%,34%,and 42%.Moreover,the standard deviations of Satellite Laser Ranging(SLR)residuals are spanning 2.5–3.5 cm,underscoring a comparable accuracy to the DD AR solution,with discrepancies below 5%.A notable advantage of UD AR lies in its capability to produce the Integer Recovered Clock(IRC),facilitating Precise Point Positioning(PPP)AR without requiring additional Uncalibrated Phase Delay(UPD)products.To assess the performance of quad-system kinematic PPP based on IRC,a network comprising 120 stations is utilized.In comparison to the float solution,the IRC-based PPP AR accelerates convergence time by 31%and enhance positioning accuracy in the east component by 54%.
