Transparent photovoltaic technologies: Current trends towards upscaling

Insight into the Origins of Figures of Merit and Design Strategies for Organic/Inorganic Lead‐Halide Perovskite Solar Cells

“…However, there are also some interesting strategies for exceeding the S–Q limit. For example, tandem cells (i.e., more than one junction in a cell) are popular; [ 51,60b,110 ] an additional absorber in one cell can absorb more sunlight; [78a,111] solar concentrators; [ 112 ] and the hot carrier effect can also reserve and harvest more energy.

Proanthocyanin‐Capped Biogenic TiO2 Nanoparticles with Enhanced Penetration, Antibacterial and ROS Mediated Inhibition of Bacteria Proliferation and Biofilm Formation: A Comparative Approach

“…[16][17][18] Beyondt his, ap rogrammed assemblage of mesoporousp hotocatalytic TiO 2 and electrochromic materials has been found to provide much enhanced power conversion efficiency for the fabrication of hybrid materialb ased photoelectrochromic devices such as dye-sensitized solarc ell (DSSC) photoanodes and carbonbased electrochemical double layer capacitor( EDLC)e lectrodes. [19][20][21] Owing to the fascinating merits of TiO 2 -NPs, nanotechnologists have tried several strategic designsa nd approaches to synthesize TiO 2 -NPs with desired properties at al arge scale, while maintaining the principle of green chemistry.I nt he green chemistry landscape, crude extracts of plants such as Trigonellafoenumgraecum, Jatropha curcas,a nd Aloe vera, Cinnamon,h ave received great attention because they act as excellent reducing, capping and stabilizing agents in bio-inspired synthesis of TiO 2 -NPs. [22][23][24][25] Furthermore,p revious reports suggest the involvement of pith-chained hydrocarbons, polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids,c arbohydrates, and proteins in enabling prolonged stability andd ispersity of metalsa nd metal oxide NPs (e.g.,A g, ZnO, CuO and Fe 2 O 3 )i na queous environments.…”

Effects of All‐Organic Interlayer Surface Modifiers on the Efficiency and Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells

“…Solar cells based on halide perovskites (HPs) have been actively studied in the past few years due to their excellent optoelectronic properties, low fabrication cost, and potential to be integrated into energy-efficient smart windows and other building technologies. [1][2][3][4][5] Following the seminal works in 2012 which demonstrated efficient all-solid-state HP devices, [6][7][8] systematic improvements of the materials configuration and morphology, [9][10][11][12][13] coupled with the development of new chargetransporting layers, [14][15][16][17] have resulted in certified power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of over 25 %, [18] rivalling those of conventional silicon-based devices. As a consequence, after less than a decade of intense research, HP solar cells are now considered as a promising technological alternative and various attempts have been carried out in terms of upscaling, stability enhancement and materials development with less toxicity profile, so that the industrial production and commercialization of the technology can be realized.…”
