Which mechanism limits maximum current density across silicon heterojunction solar cell interfaces with surface passivation layers?

💡 Explanation

When recombination at the interface occurs, dangling bonds act as trap states decreasing carrier lifetime because carriers prematurely combine, leading to reduces the overall efficiency reducing the current. Therefore recombination is the limiting mechanisms, rather than ohmic or absorptive effects which require larger layer thicknesses/conductivity issues.
