The electronic and materials properties of two series of wide-bandgap solar cells with Cupoor CuGaSe 2 (CGS) absorbers have been studied, to better understand limitations on the device performance. One series of samples displayed distinct lateral non-uniformities in Cu/Ga ratio, Na content, and thickness. The C-V data on these samples suggested the presence of a distinct band of near-interface defect states. Although the second series of samples appeared uniform and C-V results did not indicate the presence of near-interface defect states, J-V-T results show V oc (0T)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
