A hot carrier solar cell is characterized by a carrier population in thermal non equilibrium with the lattice, that translates into carriers having a temperature higher than the material temperature. It then becomes possible to collect not only the carrier potential energy but also their kinetic energy, and thus to extract an additional power that is not used in conventional solar cells. This enables to reach a potential efficiency close to the thermodynamical limit. The extraction of carriers is made through energy selective membranes in order to reduce the heat loss. In this thesis, the impact of contact selectivity on the cell behaviour is investigated by simulating its efficiency. It appears that this parameter is not as crucial as what...
