Charge Accumulation, Recombination, and Their Associated Time Scale in Efficient (GUA)(x)(MA)(1-x)PbI3-Based Perovskite Solar Cells

Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Pankaj Kumar Yadav, Daniel Prochowicz, Mohammad Mahdi Tavakoli, Anwar Qasem M Alanazi

Here, we study the influence of guanidinium (GUA) ions on the open-circuit voltage (V-oc) in the (GUA)(x)(MA)(1-x)PbI3 based perovskite solar cells. We demonstrate that incorporation of GUA forms electronic and ionic accumulation regions at the interface o ...

Liquid electromigration in gallium-based biphasic thin films

Stéphanie Lacour, Hadrien Olivier Michaud

Liquid metals have recently gained interest as a material of choice for soft and stretchable electronic circuits, thanks to their virtually infinite mechanical failure strain and high electrical conductivity. Gallium-based thin films are obtained by deposi ...

Impact of Fin Width on Tri-Gate GaN MOSHEMTs

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Jun Ma, Luca Nela, Giovanni Santoruvo, Taifang Wang

In this paper, we present a detailed investigation of the impact of fin width (w(fin)) on tri-gate AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MOSHEMTs). As w(fin) is reduced, the threshold voltage (V-TH) increases, which is due ...

Impact of Intermittent Operation on Lifetime and Performance of a PEM Water Electrolyzer

Vasiliki Tileli, Tzu-Hsien Shen

The aim of this study is to provide a better understanding of performance degrading mechanisms occurring when a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEM-WE) is coupled with renewable energies, where times of operation and idle periods alternate. An ...

Input-Admittance Passivity Compliance for Grid-Connected Converters With an LCL Filter

Drazen Dujic, Francisco Daniel Freijedo Fernández, Enrique Rodriguez Diaz

This work presents a design methodology and its experimental validation for the input-admittance passivity compliance of LCL grid-connected converters. The designs of the LCL filter parameters and discrete controller are addressed systematically, and suita ...

Full-Area Passivating Contacts with High and Low Thermal Budgets: Solutions for High Efficiency c-Si Solar Cells

Gizem Nogay

Today more than 90% of the global PV market is covered by c-Si solar cells which are limited by recombination losses at the metal-semiconductor interface. This recombination path can be avoided by separating the metal from the c-Si wafer by introducing a b ...

Modeling photoelectric effects in semiconductors with electrical simulators is demonstrated in typical 1-D and 2-D architectures. The concept is based on a coarse meshing of the semiconductor with the so-called generalized lumped devices, where equivalent ...

A Study on the Charge Carrier Transport of Passivating Contacts

Gizem Nogay

Recently, the charge carrier transport mechanism of passivating contacts, which feature an ultra-thin oxide layer, has been investigated by studying temperature-dependent current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. The measurement revealed that tunneling is the ...

We demonstrate that doping the semiconductor zinc tin oxide (ZTO) with yttrium leads to a high-voltage thin film transistor (HVTFT) with enhanced switching performance. Adding 5% yttrium leads to an increase in the on-off ratio from 40 to 1000 at an operat ...
