Focus issue: thin-film photovoltaic materials and devices.
The recent tragic event of the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico reminds us of the challenges of developing sources of energy that are not only abundant and economical but, more importantly, are also as harmless as possible to the environment. Among renewable energy sources, solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies show great potential, as they convert directly sun light into electricity with...
متن کاملOrganic Thin Film Photovoltaic Devices from Discotic Materials
Since the {irst demonstration of organic photo voltaic devices much progress has been made. Organic solar cells reach now power conversion efficiencies of up to 3% over the solar spectrum. The morphology of the active film is very important for efficient devices. Films spin-coated from blend solutions phase separate. The scale of the phase separation depends on the solvent, solubility of the ma...
متن کاملNanomanufacturing of Emerging 2D Materials for Thin-Film Photovoltaic Applications
2D layered transition metal dichalcogenides (LTMDs) attracted a great deal of interests because of their attractive electronic, optoelectronic and mechanical properties, versatile chemistry, and large natural abundance. Especially, a single semiconducting LTMD (e.g., WSe 2 , WS 2 , and MoS 2) layer (~0.5 nm thick) can absorb as much sunlight as 50 nm of Si (or 12 nm of GaAs) and generate curren...
متن کاملPolyacetylene thin film photovoltaic devices
2014 Photovoltaic devices have been obtained by a direct polymerization of undoped (or p-type doped) thin film (CH)x layer onto a polycrystalline cadmium sulfide film. The morphology of the contact is observed by S.E.M. microscopy. The electrical characteristics of this device are studied in the dark or under illumination. The main result, at AM1, 100 mW/cm2 with doped (CH)x correspond to 0.5 p...
متن کاملThin-film Photovoltaic Proton and Electron Radiation
A radiation test plan for thin-film photovoltaic technologies focused on a MEO flight experiment is outlined. The proton and electron radiation response of thin film, amorphous Si solar cells and CuInGaSe2 solar cells, with and without space coatings, is presented. The degradation of the photovoltaic output under penetrating and junction-damaging proton irradiation, and 0.6 MeV and 1 MeV electr...
