CuInSe2 THIN FILM FOR SOLAR CELL BY FLASH EVAPORATION

Electrodeposited CuInSe2 thin film junctions

We have investigated thin films and junctions based on copper indium diselenide (CIS) which have been grown by electrochemical deposition. CIS is a leading candidate for use in polycrystalline thin film photovoltaic solar cells. Electrodeposition is a cost-effective method for producing thin-film CIS. We have produced both p and n type CIS thin films from the same aqueous solution by simply var...

Perovskite solar cells prepared by flash evaporation.

A simple vacuum deposition method for the preparation of high quality hybrid organic-inorganic methylammonium lead iodide perovskite thin films is reported. When sandwiched in between organic charge transporting layers, such films lead to solar cells with a power conversion efficiency of 12.2%.

Development of a Computer Model for Polycrystalline Thin-Film CuInSe2 and CdTe Solar Cells

Many thin film heterojunction solar cells contain an interface between the emitter and base which is a very high recombination region and which effectively prevents the passage of minority carriers. However, by utilizing proper design techniques which will be discussed here, the problem can be minimized; efficient thin film heterojunction solar cells can be fabricated, even though they contain ...
