In this scenario, renewable energy resources, like solar energy, offer a promising alternative to fossil fuels. Solar energy can be collected by light-absorbing materials and converted into electrical energy using solar cells (SCs). For successful commercialization, SCs must deliver high power ...
For QW solar cells, there has been an argument in the context of Shockley-Queisser detailed-balance theories that the conversion efficiency of QW solar cells cannot exceed that of a bulk cell with the optimum band gap, and that they are only useful in extending their band edges when no bulk...
As researchers investigate newer materials to improve solar cell efficiency, cost, and safety, XPS and UPS will become leading analytical techniques in solar cell research and development. XRD also provides an easy and non-destructive technique for the initial characterization of thin-film materials. ...

New Layered Structures of Cuprous Chalcogenides as Thin Film Solar Cell Materials: Cu2Te and Cu2Se The stable crystal structures of two cuprous chalcogenides of Cu 2 X ( X = Te or Se) are predicted using an adaptive genetic algorithm in combination wit... MC Nguyen,JH Choi,X Zhao,... ...
Perovskite solar cell. Image used courtesy of theU.S. Department of Energy The solar industry has recently seen multiple notable breakthroughs from major research institutions. This article reviews two recent advancements in perovskite solar cells and the impact they may have on the industry. ...
Thin film perovskite solar cell has a sandwich structure, where charges are moving from layer to layer through interfaces and selectively collecting at electrodes, as a result of sunlight energy being converted into electrical current. In simple terms, electrons should be transported from the absorber...
The findings of this paper give further insight into the problems and ascertain some requirements imposed on the CdTe absorber layer parameters in a CdTe/CdS solar cell, which in our opinion could be taken into account in the technology of fabrication of solar cells. The model taking into accou...
Nearly doubling the efficiency of a breakthrough photovoltaic cell they created last year, UCLA researchers have developed a two-layer, see-through solar film that could be placed on windows, sunroofs, smartphone displays and other surfaces to harvest energy from the sun. The new device is compo...
