CdTe Photovoltaic Devices for Solar Cell Applications
Cadmium telluride (CdTe) has been recognized as a promising photovoltaic material for thin-film solar cells because of its near optimum bandgap of ~1.5 eV and high absorption coefficient. The energy gap is near optimum for a single junction solar cell and the high absorption coefficient allows films as thin as 2 μm to absorb more than 98% of the above-bandgap radiation. Cells with efficiencies ...
متن کاملNew Concepts of Nano-crystalline Organic Photovoltaic Devices
The working principle of a nano-crystalline dye sensitized solar cell (nc-DSC) of the Grätzel type depends on a working cycle consisting of dye excitation, electron injection into titanium dioxide and fast reduction of the oxidized dye by a redox couple. Continuous stability testing at Solaronix on glass/glass thermoplastic sealed nc-DSC devices, revealed that no significant degradation of the ...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of PPV/CdTe Nanocrystal Complex for Photovoltaic Device
This work focuses on studying a novel polymer/nanocrystal multilayer for the fabrication of donor and accepter typed photovoltaic device. Highly luminescent anionic CdTe nanocrystals were prepared by aqueous synthesis method using 3-mercaptopropionic acid as stabilizer. The resultant CdTe served as electron acceptor and poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) was used as electron donor. Through the el...
متن کاملPlasmonics for Improved Photovoltaic Devices
Several approaches have been adopted in the past for increasing the light absorption in photovoltaic solar cells. The introduction of a plasmonic layer of Ib metal nanoparticles (pure or embedded in a dielectric layer) has been recognized as a viable alternate approach for enhancing light absorption. The scattering from metal nanoparticles near their localized plasmon resonance seemed to be a p...
متن کاملPlasmonics for improved photovoltaic devices.
The emerging field of plasmonics has yielded methods for guiding and localizing light at the nanoscale, well below the scale of the wavelength of light in free space. Now plasmonics researchers are turning their attention to photovoltaics, where design approaches based on plasmonics can be used to improve absorption in photovoltaic devices, permitting a considerable reduction in the physical th...
