High?Efficiency Graphene?Oxide/Silicon Solar Cells with an Organic?Passivated Interface

Hybridizing ZnO Nanowires with Micropyramid Silicon Wafers as Superhydrophobic HighEfficiency Solar Cells

Low conversion efficiency is still the main limiting factor for current solar-cell technologies. A large portion of the energy loss during solar-cell operation is attributed to optical loss, namely the loss of the incoming light by reflection.[1] To reduce the reflection loss, surface texturing and antireflection coatings are the most-commonly used strategies.[2–4] Surface texturing is able to ...

Application of Au@SiO2 Plasmonic Nanoparticles at Interface of TiO2 Mesoporous Layers in Perovskite Solar Cells

To investigate the plasmonic effect in perovskite solar cells, the effect of depositing Au@SiO2 nanoparticles on the top and the bottom of mesoporous TiO2 layers was studied. First, Au@SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized. The particles were then deposited at the different interfaces of mesoporous TiO2 layers. Although the two structures show approximately similar optical absorption, only cells ...

Organic Solar Cells Performances Improvement Induced by Interface Buffer Layers

Atomic structure of interface states in silicon heterojunction solar cells.

Combining orientation dependent electrically detected magnetic resonance and g tensor calculations based on density functional theory we assign microscopic structures to paramagnetic states involved in spin-dependent recombination at the interface of hydrogenated amorphous silicon crystalline silicon (a-Si:H/c-Si) heterojunction solar cells. We find that (i) the interface exhibits microscopic r...
