Which consequence results when pressure reduces band gaps within photovoltaic cells?

A)Increased electron-hole recombination rate
B)Reduced short-circuit current capacity
C)Augmented open-circuit voltage potential
D)Decreased depletion region width

💡 Explanation

Increased pressure narrows the band gap, enhancing the probability of electrons transitioning across it via tunneling and recombination because Shockley-Read-Hall recombination becomes dominant; therefore, carrier lifetime decreases, and recombination increases rather than voltage improving under these different constraints.
