Abstract
Hot Carrier Solar Cells (HCSCs) are a proposed next-generation photovoltaic technology for overcoming the single-gap efficiency limit. Here, our latest work in developing protocols for effective hot carrier extraction and field aided scattering within the framework of valley photovoltaics (VP) will be presented. A study of various absorber/selective barrier material combinations provides insight into current bottlenecks towards the realization of a VP HCSC, and how these might be circumvented using several complementary experimental techniques.
