Basic limitations of single-junction and tandem p-n and p-i-n diodes are established from thermodynamical considerations on radiative recombination and semi-empirical considerations on the classical diode equations. These limits are compared to actual valu ...
The invention relates to ÿ-substituted porphyrins, methods for their synthesis, and their use in the preparation of photoelectric materials. In particular, the invention relates to solid state photoelectric devices, including solar cells and photodetectors ...
A method for anchoring unsym. phthalocyaninato-metal complexes (metal ion: zinc and ruthenium) is described. The synthesis and characterization of these complexes, ZnL and Ru(4-picoline)2L (H2L = 2,3-bis(carboxyphenoxy)-9,10,16,17,23,24-hexakis(pentoxy)pht ...
Long-lasting charge separation is key to the performance of solar cells. A new design for larger conjugated dye-sensitizer molecules effectively retards the recombination of the charge-separated state and promises improved energy conversion effi ciency. ...
A method for a binder-free manufg. a nanostructured porous film, e.g. for use in solar cells, includes the steps of prepg. a suspension of semiconducting nanoparticles in a volatile suspension agent, depositing the particle suspension on a conducting subst ...
The determination of the crystalline volume fraction from the Raman spectra of microcrystalline silicon involves the knowledge of a material parameter called the Raman emission cross-section ratio y. This value is still debated in the literature. In the pr ...
Theoretical: Limits for Jsc, Voc, FF and efficiency of single-junction solar cells and tandems are derived, as a function of E g, showing that: (1) double-junction 'micromorph' solar cells constitute an optimum combination of bandgap values; (2) main futur ...
Doped ZnO layers deposited by low-pressure chemical vapour deposition technique have been studied for their use as transparent contact layers for thin-film silicon solar cells. Surface roughness of these ZnO layers is related to their light-scattering capa ...
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is now often used as a transparent conductive oxide for contacts in thin-film silicon solar cells. This paper presents a study of ZnO material deposited by the low-pressure chemical vapour deposition technique, in a pressure range below th ...
A series of nip-type microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) single-junction solar cells has been studied by electrical characterisation, by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and by Raman spectroscopy using 514 and 633 nm excitation light and both top- and ...
