← ScienceWithin a silicon photovoltaic cell, which mechanism reduces electron-hole recombination at grain boundaries in polycrystalline material?
A)Passivation via hydrogen incorporation✓
B)Increased cell operating temperature
C)Application of reverse bias voltage
D)Decreasing photon flux intensity
💡 Explanation
Passivation with hydrogen reduces electron-hole recombination at grain boundaries because it saturates dangling bonds, thereby removing energy states within the band gaps which would otherwise trap carriers, therefore reducing electron-hole recombination rather than enhancing it at these imperfections.
