Nanostructured TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3 heterojunction solar cells employing spiro-OMeTAD/Co-complex as hole-transporting material

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Yong Chan Choi

For using 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis(N,N'-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD) as a hole conductor in solar cells, it is necessary to improve its charge-transport properties through electrochemical doping. With the aim of fabricating effici ...

High-performance tandem silicon solar cells on F:SnO2

Christophe Ballif, Sylvain Nicolay, Laura Ding

High-performance transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) have significance for optimising PV performance. The efficiency of the resulting solar cells is dependent particularly on achieving high light scattering, low resistivity and low absorption (via low fre ...

Influence of Sodium Cations of N3 Dye on the Photovoltaic Performance and Stability of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin

We report on the effect of substituting the two tetrabutyl ammonium counter ions of the standard N719 dye by sodium ions on the performance and stability of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The disodium analogue of N719 in conjunction with a non-volatile ...

CuIn1-xGaxSe2 (CIGS) solar cells show a good spectral response in a wide range of the solar spectrum and the bandgap of CIGS can be adjusted from 1.0 eV to 1.7 eV by increasing the gallium-to-indium ratio of the absorber. While the bandgaps of Ga-rich CIGS ...

Fabrication and characterisation of polymer based solar cells

Thomas Söderström

Tandem solar cells, in which two individual cells are stacked on top of each other, offer the potential to increase the efficiency significantly compared to a single cell on the same area. To reach maximum efficiency, each cell in the stack must have a dis ...
