Intermediate-band solar cells (IBSCs) have strong potential for high power conversion efficiency (PCE), exceeding the Shockley-Queisser limit 1. The IBSC has an intermediate-band (IB) between the valence band (VB) and conduction band (CB), within the bandgap of bulk semiconductor in a photo-absorption layer 2, 3, 4.
