A monolithic multiple solar cell includes at least three partial cells, with a semiconductor mirror placed between two partial cells. The aim of the invention is to improve the radiation stability of said solar cell. For this purpose, the semiconductor mirror has a high degree of reflection in at least one part of a spectral absorption area of the partial cell which is arranged above the semiconductor mirror and a high degree of transmission within the spectral absorption range of the partial cell arranged below the semiconductor mirror.

A leaf inspired biomimetic light trapping scheme for ultrathin flexible graphene silicon Schottky junction solar cell. An all-dielectric approach comprising of lossless silica and titania nanoparticles is used for mimicking the two essential light trapping mechanisms of a leaf: (1) focusing and waveguiding and (2) scattering. The light trapping scheme uses two optically tuned layers and does not require any nano-structuring of the active silicon substrate, thereby ensuring that the optical gain is not offset due to recombination losses.
