CdTe is the leading commercial thin film photovoltaic technology with current record
laboratory efficiency (22.1%). However, there is much potential for progress toward the …

An 800 nm CdSeTe layer was added to the CdTe absorber used in high-efficiency CdTe
cells to increase the current and produce an increase in efficiency. The CdSeTe layer …

Sublimated thin-film CdTe photovoltaic devices with conversion efficiencies over 18% and a
fill-factor greater than 79% have been repeatedly obtained using high-rate fabrication …

CdTe thin film solar cells have demonstrated efficiencies over 20%, but CdTe has a
somewhat higher band gap than optimal for single-junction terrestrial solar-cell power …

There has been an increasing demand for green energy due to the negative impact of global
warming on the environment and life. This has necessitated the fabrication of different …

The CdTe valence-band maximum (VBM) at 5.8 eV below the vacuum level is mismatched
with potential contacting metals such as Ni (work function~ 5.2 eV) for the p-type CdTe …

In recent years the efficiency of CdTe based solar cells has been significantly improved,
mainly by the increase of the short circuit current value. This has been achieved by removing …

Cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper–indium–gallium diselenide are the only
commercialized cells among the various thin-film photovoltaic devices. While checking the …

Here, we report an aspect ratio-controlled synthesis of tellurium (Te) nanowires (NWs)
utilizing a hot-injection colloidal method. The synthetic method uses low cost materials …
