← ScienceWhich phenomenon reduces power conversion efficiency because increased grain boundaries in polycrystalline silicon?
A)Increased electron-hole recombination rate✓
B)Enhanced electron mobility overall
C)Decreased lattice phonon scattering
D)Reduced surface plasmon resonance loss
💡 Explanation
Increased grain boundaries provides recombination centers, causing increased electron-hole recombination rather than increased transfer or decreased scattering; this is because grain boundaries introduce defects that act as traps, therefore efficiency diminishes rather than increases at such defects.
