Compositionally Graded Absorber for Efficient and Stable Near‐Infrared‐Transparent Perovskite Solar Cells
Compositional grading has been widely exploited in highly efficient Cu(In,Ga)Se2, CdTe, GaAs, quantum dot solar cells, and this strategy has the potential to improve the performance of emerging perovskite solar cells. However, realizing and maintaining compositionally graded perovskite absorber from solution processing is challenging. Moreover, the operational stability of graded perovskite sol...
متن کاملFabrication Of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Solar Cells With In2S3 Buffer Layer By Two Stage Process
Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films (CIGS) on metallic substrate (titanium, molybdenum, aluminum, stainless steel) were prepared by a two-step selenization of Co-evaporated metallic precursors in Se-containing environment under N2 gas flow. Structural properties of prepared thin film were studied. To characterize the optical quality and intrinsic defect nature low-temperature photoluminescence, were perfor...
متن کاملEFFECT OF CRYSTAL DEFECTS ON MINORITY CARRIER DIFFUSION LENGTHS IN 6H Sic
Minority-carrier diffusion lengths in n-type 6H-SIC were measured using the planar electron-beam induced current (EBIC) technique. Experimental values of electron beam current, EBIC, and beam voltage were obtained for n-type SIC with a carrier concentration of 1.7E17 ~ m ~ . This data was fit to theoretically calculated diode efficiency curves, and the diffusion length and metal layer thickness...
متن کاملOne-Step Electrodeposited Cu-In-Ga Thin Films and Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Absorber Synthesis for Solar Cells
Cu-In-Ga electrodeposition on Mo substrate is carried out in acidic aqueous media. Subsequent selenization leads to Cu(In,Ga)Se2 absorber for thin film solar cells. First, conditions to achieve onestep Cu-In-Ga electrodeposition are analysed. Then, Cu-In and CuGa systems are studied. Cu-In electrodeposition is realized under diffusion-control conditions. For Cu-Ga system, first Cu(II) diffusion...
متن کاملInvestigation of pulsed non-melt laser annealing on the film properties and performance of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells
Pulsed non-melt laser annealing (NLA) has been used for the first time to modify nearsurface defects and related junction properties in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells. CIGS films deposited on Mo/glass substrates were annealed using a 25 ns pulsed 248 nm laser beam at selected laser energy density in the range 20–60mJ/cm and pulse number in the range 5–20 pulses. XRD peak narrowing and SEM surf...
