A model for intermediate band solar cells is presented to assess the effect of carrier transport and recombination (CTR) on the efficiency of these devices. The model includes dependencies of physical parameters including optical absorption, carrier lifetime, and carrier transport on the density of intermediate band electronic states. Simulation results using this model indicate that conversion efficiency degrades when the net carrier recombination lifetime is small (range of nanoseconds) or when the device length is long relative to carrier drift length. The intermediate band solar cell model provides a method of determining realistic conversion efficiencies based on experimentally measurable input parameters for CTR. The incorporation of CTR provides insight on the dependence of optimal density of states and energetic position of the intermediate band based on carrier lifetime and mobility. The material ZnTeO (EG=2.3 eV, EI=1.8 eV) is used as a numerical example for the intermediate band solar cell mode...
