In today's world, fossil fuels, including coal, oil, and gas, are the primary energy sources from
which electricity is obtained. As they are exhaustible and their exploitation has a negative …

On top of significant improvements and progress made through science and engineering in
the last century to increase efficiency and reduce impacts of mining to the environment, risk …

Chalcopyrites are important contenders among solar-cell materials due to direct band gap
and very high-absorption coefficients. Copper–indium–gallium disulfide (CIGS2) is a …

In this paper, low-resistivity molybdenum (Mo) thin films were deposited on stainless-steel
and soda-lime glass substrates with good adhesion at room temperature by using a direct …

In a pn junction photovoltaic (PV) cell, a photon of light produces an electron hole pair if the
energy of the photon is at least equal to the band gap of the material constituting the pn …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) construction of radial junction hydrogenated amorphous
silicon (a-Si: H) thin film solar cells on standing silicon nanowires (SiNWs) is a promising …

Large-scale global use of new renewable energy sources (RES) necessitates massive
physical resources. Present study shows that more than 99.5% of the materials needed in …

Life cycle assessment (LCA) offers valuable insights for solar firms, including identification of
opportunities for potential cost reduction at energy and material usage hotspots and …

In order to calculate the Schottky barrier parameters and to explain the resulting effects, the
conduction mechanisms in a Schottky barrier should be known. In the present study, we …

With the increased deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV), the cadmium telluride (CdTe) PV
market is expected to grow substantially. CdTe PV production is crucial for the clean energy …
