Narrow-band gap (NBG) Sn–Pb perovskites with band gaps of ?1.2 eV, which correspond to a broad photon absorption range up ?1033 nm, are highly promising candidates for bottom solar cells in all-perovskite tandem photovoltaics. To exploit their potential, avoiding optical losses the top layer stacks configuration is essential. This study addresses this challenge two ways (1) removing hole-transp...

Humid air and low vacuum storage of glass/ITO/SnO 2 /triple cation perovskite/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au aid in the improvement PCE (from 13.2% to 20.8% after 72 h 20.9% 720 h). After storage, all PV parameters increased hysteresis-free behaviour was observed.

This paper reports two new indium tin oxide (ITO)-based nanostructures, namely ITO@carbon core-shell nanowire and jagged ITO nanowire. The ITO@carbon core-shell nanowires (~50 nm in diameter, 1-5 μm in length,) were prepared by a chemical vapor deposition process from commercial ITO nanoparticles. A carbon overlayer (~5-10 in thickness) was observed around ITO nanowire core, which was in situ f...

We have demonstrated a gallium nitride (GaN)-based green light-emitting diode (LED) with graphene/indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent contact. The ohmic characteristic of the p-GaN and graphene/ITO contact could be preformed by annealing at 500 °C for 5 min. The specific contact resistance of p-GaN/graphene/ITO (3.72E-3 Ω·cm²) is one order less than that of p-GaN/ITO. In addition, the 20-mA forw...

Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by RF sputtering using an ITO ceramic target (In2O3-SnO2, 90-10 wt. %). After deposition, samples were annealed at different temperatures in vacuum furnace. The post vacuum annealing effects on the structural, optical and electrical properties of ITO films were investigated. Polycrystalline...

The improvement of the physical properties of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) layers is quite advantageous in photovoltaic applications. In this study the ITO film is deposited by RF sputtering onto p-type crystalline silicon (c-Si) with (100) orientation, multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si), and glass substrates coated with ZnO and annealed in vacuum furnace at 400°C. Electrical, optical, structural a...

Abstract Solid-state electrolytes have received much attention because of their high safety and cycling stability for lithium ion batteries. However, the interfacial contact issue solid with electrode active material hinders practical use. Herein, first time, we demonstrate a hybrid electrolyte that combines polyethylene terephthalate (PET) an organic liquid to provide synergetic benefits over ...

Herein, a stepwise electrodeposition technique was used to synthesize the Pd based nanoparticles on indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. First of all, Pd nanoparticles were electrodeposited on ITO via one step electrodeposition technique. Furthermore, Au was electrodeposited on Pd. Finally, Co was electrodeposited on Au and Pd electrodeposited ITO electrode via stepwise electrodeposition techniqu...

This paper reports impressive improvements in the optical and electrical performance of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS)-structure silicon solar cells through the incorporation of plasmonic indium nanoparticles (In-NPs) and an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrode with periodic holes (perforations) under applied bias voltage. Samples were prepared using a plain ITO electrode or perforated ITO electro...
