National Aeronautics and Space Administration Inorganic Photovoltaics Materials and Devices: Past, Present, and Future
This report describes recent aspects of advanced inorganic materials for photovoltaics or solar cell applications. Specific materials examined will be high-efficiency silicon, gallium arsenide and related materials, and thin-film materials, particularly amorphous silicon and (polycrystalline) copper indium selenide. Some of the advanced concepts discussed include multijunction III-V (and thin-f...
متن کاملPhotoconductive Lifetime of CdS Used in Thin-Film Solar Cells
Thin-film CdS is used as a window layer in most of the current thin-film polycrystalline device technologies including absorbers based on cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium selenide (CIS) and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS). Device performance has been linked to the deposition technique and posttreatment of the CdS layer. Here we used the radio frequency photoconductive decay (RFP...
متن کاملSpray-on Thin Film PV Solar Cells: Advances, Potentials and Challenges
The capability to fabricate photovoltaic (PV) solar cells on a large scale and at a competitive price is a milestone waiting to be achieved. Currently, such a fabrication method is lacking because the effective methods are either difficult to scale up or expensive due to the necessity for fabrication in a vacuum environment. Nevertheless, for a class of thin film solar cells, in which the solar...
متن کاملComparative study of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry applied to dc magnetron sputtered as-grown copper indium diselenide (CIS)
The University of Salford has led the way in the fundamental research that has underpinned the development of thin film copper indium diselenide (CIS) based photovoltaics. These devices have demonstrated exceptional energy conversion efficiencies (>19%) and a high tolerance to radiation damage and are thus leading researchers towards the 20% efficiency barrier. Conventional CIS thin film growth...
