Abstract:
A hole-collecting interlayer layer for organic solar cells, NiO, processed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) was studied. ALD-NiO film offered a novel alternative to efficient hole-collecting interlayers in conventional single-junction organic solar cells. Next, surface modifications with aliphatic amine group containing polymers for use as electron-collecting interlayers were studied. Physisorption of the polymers was found to lead to large reduction of the work function of conducting materials. This approach provides an efficient way to provide air-stable low-work function electrodes for orga

Abstract:
In an attempt to find the optimum number of wells for maximum conversion efficiency a pair of otherwise identical strain balanced samples, one containing 50 wells and the other 65 wells have been characterised. The 65 well sample is found to possess a lower predicted efficiency than the 50 well sample, suggesting that the optimum well number lies between these values. Devices grown using tertiary butyl arsine (TBAs) are found to possess comparable conversion efficiencies to the control cells grown using arsine and slightly superior dark IV characteristics, indicating that TBAs may be substitut

Thin film photovoltaics encompass a group of technologies able to harvest light within a few microns thickness. The reduced thickness allows a low cost of manufacture while making the films flexible and adaptable to different surfaces. This, combined with their low weight, positioned thin film solar cells as ideal candidates for building integrated photovoltaics. For the latter, organic solar cells (OSC) can provide a high quality semi-transparency that closely mimics the aesthetics of standard windows.

A tunneling peak higher than the operating point of a solar cell is recorded by this method, with a value of &sim;950 A/cm2.

However the best state-of-the-art devices are still far lower than those figures, even the electronic quality is nearly perfect. Therefore the efficiency gap should stem from the light management inside solar cells. Recently, Alta device, Inc. has successfully fabricated a thin-film GaAs single junction solar cell with conversion efficiency of 28.8%, under 1 sun illumination, which aggregates the loss of backward emission int

In Raman scattering, used a spatial correlation (SC) model we can explained the correlation length (L) and asymmetry of the longitudinal-optic phonon Raman spectrum. We found the sample with 1 nm thickness of intrinsic layer had the highest correlation length and symmetry. And from current-voltage measurement under AM1.5G illumination that find the highest conversion efficiency (η) in the same sample. Different annealing time

The simulation modelling is important and indispensable for designing and fabricating InGaN single junction and InGaN/Si tandem solar cells.

Screen-printed solar cells are the most widely used cells in the commercial production of silicon solar cells. The key advantage of screen printing is the relative simplicity of the process in spite of its high contact resistance and high shading loss. Commercial mono- and multi-crystalline silicon solar cells use screen-printed process for de
