In this Letter we show that the mixed perovskite in the form of (FAPbI(3))(0.85)(MAPbBr(3))(0.15) in combination with CuNCS as p-type hole conductor leads to over 16% power conversion efficiency (PCE) under full sun illumination and yields a remarkable mon ...

Implementing antireflection (AR) coatings in micromorph tandem solar cells is a challenging process in which not only more sunlight should get conducted into the cells, but also the current matching between subcells should either be maintained or get impro ...

We report the recent advances and key requirements for high-efficiency "micromorph" tandem thin-film silicon solar cells composed of an amorphous silicon top cell and a microcrystalline silicon bottom cell. The impact of inserting a low-refractive-index si ...

Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2014

The rear side of a silicon solar cell is often designed to minimize surface recombination, series resistance, and cost, but not necessarily parasitic absorption. We present a comprehensive study of parasitic absorption in the metal layer of solar cells wit ...

Post-deposition treatment of microcrystalline silicon solar cells for improved performance on rough superstrates

Christophe Ballif, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Sylvain Nicolay, Grégory Bugnon, Laura Ding

In this contribution, we investigate the effect of post-deposition treatments on finished non-encapsulated thin-film microcrystalline silicon solar cells and show that annealing in vacuum leads to improved electrical properties of the solar cells, particul ...

Light trapping in thin-film solar cells measured by Raman spectroscopy

Christophe Ballif, Grégory Bugnon, Etienne Antoine Julien Moulin, Martin Ledinsky

In this study, Raman spectroscopy is used as a tool to determine the light-trapping capability of textured ZnO front electrodes implemented in microcrystalline silicon (mu c-Si:H) solar cells. Microcrystalline silicon films deposited on superstrates of var ...

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 ...

A miniaturised autonomous sensor based on nanowire materials platform: the SiNAPS mote

Maher Kayal, Naser Khosro Pour

A micro-power energy harvesting system based on core(crystalline Si)-shell(amorphous Si) nanowire solar cells together with a nanowire-modified CMOS sensing platform have been developed to be used in a dust-sized autonomous chemical sensor node. The mote ( ...

Development of high band gap protocrystalline material for p-i-n thin film silicon solar cells

Fabio Maurizio

High band gap thin film silicon solar cells are of high interest for the use as top cell in triple junctions solar cells. Protocrystalline silicon, in the transition phase between amorphous and microcrystalline silicon, is such a high band gap material. Du ...
