Moving beyond the Shockley–Queisser limit: current bottlenecks and a new direction in solar energy conversion
This review examines strategies to surpass the Shockley–Queisser limit by addressing thermalization and sub-bandgap losses. It introduces the lattice energy reservoir as a unified mechanism enabling energy recycling in single-junction solar cells.
