Conductive and semiconductive oxides constitute a class of materials of which the electrical
conductivity and optical transparency can be modulated through material design (eg, doping …

In the past decade, atomic layer deposition (ALD) has become an important thin film
deposition technique for applications in nanoelectronics, catalysis, and other areas due to its …

The performance of CdTe solar cells can be very sensitive to the emitter/absorber interface,
especially for high-efficiency cells with high bulk lifetime. Performance losses from acceptor …

Selenium was used in the first solid state solar cell in 1883 and gave early insights into the
photoelectric effect that inspired Einstein's Nobel Prize work; however, the latest efficiency …

New record efficiencies have been achieved on Cd-free Cu (In, Ga)(Se, S) 2 thin-film
photovoltaic submodules prepared by a two-step sulfurization after selenization process …

The conduction band offset (CBO) of SnS as the light absorbing layer and Zn 1− x Mg x O as
the buffer layer in SnS thin film solar cells has been optimized to improve the solar cell …

Low-temperature (≤ 400° C), stackable oxide semiconductors are promising as an upper
transistor ingredient for monolithic three-dimensional integration. The atomic layer …

The CIGS solar cell is one of the most promising photovoltaic devices due to the
achievement of the highest conversion efficiency (> 20%) among all thin-film solar cells. The …

Abstract The composition of Cu (In, Ga) Se 2 (CIGS) films employed in CIGS solar cells is Cu
deficient. There can be point defects, including Cu vacancies, Se vacancies, and metal anti …

This study investigated the mechanism underlying the light soaking effect of a ZnMgO buffer
in Cu (In, Ga) Se2 (CIGS) solar cells, where the cell efficiency increased with an increase of …
