Abstract Radiation tolerance of Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS) solar cells has been investigated using high-fluence proton beam irradiation for application to devices in extremely-high-radiation environment. CIGS deteriorated after high-energy with non-ionizing energy loss 1 × 10 16 MeV n eq /cm , however, the could generate power irradiation. The ideality factors increased from 1.3 2.0, and series resis...

Abstract The Zn(O,S) thin film is considered a most promising candidate for cadmium-free buffer layer of the Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin-film solar cell due to its advantages optical responses in short-wavelength region and adjustable bandgap. In this paper, growth mechanism process optimization films fabricated using chemical bath deposition method are systematically investigated. thickness quali...

High-efficiency Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin-film solar cells are based on polycrystalline CIGS absorber layers, which contain grain boundaries, stacking faults, and dislocations. While planar defects in layers have been investigated extensively, little is still known about the impact of dislocations optoelectronic properties absorbers. Herein, evidence for an inactivity these thin films given, con...

Over the past decade, impressive progress in power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organometallic halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs), coupled with their ready integration into tandem cells, has led them to approach PCEs 30% for a silicon bottom subcell. However, complementary technology perovskite/copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) been thus far unable reach similar values. Herein, further ...

cigs as a nico ne prod‐ uct that should be taxed for reasons of symmetry: if tobacco is heavily taxed, then other nico ne‐delivering items should be taxed like‐ wise. Poli cians of eve‐ ry stripe clearly wish to avoid being seen as en‐ couraging nico ne con‐ sump on. However, according to many spe‐ cialists, the poten al benefits of e‐cigs in the fight against smoking may be quite significant. ...

Methane valorization is one of the main challenges in modern chemical industry. However, existing processes require high reaction temperatures. The alternative photocatalytic routes for methane at ambient conditions would be highly attractive. Today, photovoltaic (PV) generation electricity sources renewable energy. PV absorbers could excellent candidates photochemical applications. Herein, we ...

Organic–inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells represent the fastest advancing cell technology in terms of energy conversion efficiency improvement, as seen last decade. This has become a promising for next-generation, low-cost, high-efficiency photovoltaics including multi-junction tandem concepts. Double-junction have much higher limits 45%, beyond Shockley–Queisser single-junction cel...
