“…Thin film solar cells are devices that convert solar energy into electrical energy. Transparent conductive films (TCFs) are a thin film material with both conductive capabilities and high transmittance in the visible light range (300–800 nm) [ 1 – 3 ]. TCFs serve as the front electrode of thin film solar cells.…”

Crystal structure and electronic properties of SnO2 doped with non-metal elements (F, S, C, B, and N) were studied using first-principles calculations. The theoretical results show that doping of non-metal elements cannot change the structure of SnO2 but result in a slight expansion of the lattice volume. The most obvious finding from the analysis is that F-doped SnO2 has the lowest defect binding energy. The doping with B and S introduced additional defect energy levels within the forbidden bandgap, which improved the crystal conductivity. The Fermi level shifts up due to the doping with B, F, and S, while the Fermi level of SnO2 doped with C or N has crossed the impurity level. The Fermi level of F-doped SnO2 is inside the conduction band, and the doped crystal possesses metallicity. The optical properties of SnO2 crystals doped with non-metal elements were analyzed and calculated. The SnO2 crystal doped with F had the highest reflectivity in the infrared region, and the reflectance of the crystals doped with N, C, S, and B decreased sequentially. Based on this theoretical calculations, F-doped SnO2 is found to be the best photoelectric material for preparing low-emissivity coatings.

“…29,30 While FTO (F-SnO 2 ) has rivalling TCO performance, there is toxic issue from using uorine for doping. 31 Another candidate AZO (Al-ZnO) suffers from the setback of low material stability. 32 Great efforts are therefore needed to deliver alternative TCO candidates using low-cost materials with large and green resources, so that sustainable alternative materials can be used to meet the ever-increasing need of TCO coatings.…”

“…The maximum daily energy gain was 167% and 114% as compared to the conventional fixed PV module for first and second variants respectively [19]. Further studies conducted to evaluate the performance of bifacial cells under concentrated irradiance are tabulated in Table.1 [13][14][15] Although, CPV system with bifacial cells produce more electrical power as compared to similar CPV system with mono-facial cells but no thermal management technique can be used by such systems. In the absence of a thermal management system, the bifacial cell temperature increases beyond 90 [19] at a concentration ratio of 3.6 or higher.…”

In this work, a novel design of a concentrated photovoltaic system with thermal management using phase change material is analyzed. The novelty lies in utilizing two mono-facial PV cells, installing one on upper side of the receiver to receive non-concentrated sunlight and installing another photovoltaic cell on bottom side to receive concentrated sunlight. An RT47 (melting range of 41-48℃) phase change material enclosed in an Aluminum containment regulates the temperature of the system. Parabolic trough concentrator is used to focus sunlight on the bottom photovoltaic cell with a concentration ratio of 25. A finite volume based coupled thermal, electrical and optical model is developed and the system is analyzed for environmental conditions of Doha, Qatar. Temperature regulation and electrical power output of upper photovoltaic cell and bottom concentrated photovoltaic cell of proposed design are compared to a conventional flat plate system. Analysis is made for one day of each month of a year. It is found that the proposed design maintains the temperature below 85℃ for all months of a year. The performance of the proposed system is comparable to the conventional flat plate system and excels it with power production in the range of-4.7% and +21.7%.
