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 ...
In the last decade, halide perovskites have emerged as a class of promising solar cell materials. During this time, record efficiencies have surpassed 25%1,2 and the research has gone from basic research to gradually also containing more technology-oriented device development. Several companies now...
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. ...

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is a potential candidate to replace conventional silicon-based solar cells because of high efficiency, cheap cost, and lower energy consumption in comparison with silicon chip manufacture. In this report,... YH Fan,CY Ho,YJ Chang - 《Scanning》 被引量: 3发表...
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...
