Abstract
Tandem solar cells, where multiple single-junction cells are combined optically in series, provide a path to making cells with high areal efficiencies, with multiple material systems capable of achieving greater than 30% efficiency under 1-sun conditions. However, there are many different material combinations and configurations used to make a tandem, and it can be challenging to understand how advances in one material system will impact the performance of a tandem device. We have built an open-source calculator based on the spectral efficiency metric proposed by Yu et al. to easily enable calculation of spectral efficiency for single junctions and predicted maximum efficiency of tandem pairs, accounting for different optical and electrical coupling between the top and bottom junctions.

期刊介绍：
ACS Energy Letters is a monthly journal that publishes papers reporting new scientific advances in energy research. The journal focuses on topics that are of interest to scientists working in the fundamental and applied sciences. Rapid publication is a central criterion for acceptance, and the journal is known for its quick publication times, with an average of 4-6 weeks from submission to web publication in As Soon As Publishable format.
ACS Energy Letters is ranked as the number one journal in the Web of Science Electrochemistry category. It also ranks within the top 10 journals for Physical Chemistry, Energy & Fuels, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology.
The journal offers several types of articles, including Letters, Energy Express, Perspectives, Reviews, Editorials, Viewpoints and Energy Focus. Additionally, authors have the option to submit videos that summarize or support the information presented in a Perspective or Review article, which can be highlighted on the journal's website. ACS Energy Letters is abstracted and indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service/SciFinder, EBSCO-summon, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Portico.
