The current state of knowledge on the impact of grain boundaries in CdTe solar cells is
reviewed with emphasis being placed on working cell structures. The role of the chemical …

On August 22, 1879, in a lecture to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, 1
Sir William Crookes announced that “radiant matter”(his term for the electrons emerging from …

CdTe devices have reached efficiencies of 22% due to continuing improvements in bulk
material properties, including minority carrier lifetime. Device modeling has helped to guide …

Electricity produced by cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic modules is the lowest-cost
electricity in the solar industry, and now undercuts fossil fuel-based sources in many regions …

Halide double perovskites have gained significant attention, owing to their composition of
low‐toxicity elements, stability in air, and recent demonstrations of long charge‐carrier …

Cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells have achieved efficiencies of over 22%, despite having
absorber layer grain sizes less than 10 μm and hence a very high density of grain …

We conducted cathodoluminescence (CL) spectrum imaging and electron backscatter
diffraction on the same microscopic areas of CdTe thin films to correlate grain-boundary …

Two novel tetrahedral manganese (II) complexes,(N-methylpiperidinium) MnCl4 (1) and (N-
methylpyrrolidinium) MnCl4 (2), with clearly distinct fluorescence characteristics were …

This article provides an examination of the long-term potential of antimony selenide (Sb 2 Se
3) as a leading photovoltaic absorber by considering lessons learned from the …

CdTe solar cells have reached efficiencies comparable to multicrystalline silicon and
produce electricity at costs competitive with traditional energy sources. Recent efficiency …
