Cu₂ZnSnS₄ monograin layer solar cells for flexible photovoltaic applications

Abstract

Monograin powder technology is one possible path to develop the sustainable, lightweight, flexible, and semi-transparent solar cells, which is ideal for integration with various building and product elements. In recent...

Tuning the optoelectronic properties of emerging solar absorbers through cation disorder engineering

“…As a result, improved and reduced PCEs/external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) in solar cells with a more ordered configuration have been reported simultaneously in literature. 41,55 Therefore, compared to AgBiS 2 solar cells, it is still too early to conclude if cation disorder has a similarly positive impact on kesterite solar cells.…”

Fabrication strategies for metallic nanowire flexible transparent electrodes with high uniformity

“…polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN), polyimide (PI), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and polyurethane (PU)) with intrinsic tolerance to strain. 5–9 This allows for the use of a combination of a variety of conductive components as flexible transparent electrodes (FTEs) for display electronics, 10–13 photovoltaic energy conversion, 14–17 electrochromic smart windows, 18–21 and many other advanced technologies.…”
