Cadmium telluride (CdTe)-based cells have emerged as the leading commercialized thin
film photovoltaic technology and has intrinsically better temperature coefficients, energy …

Energy band alignment plays an important role in thin film solar cells. This article presents
an overview of the energy band alignment in chalcogenide thin film solar cells with a …

This first comprehensive description of the most important material properties and device
aspects closes the gap between general books on solar cells and journal articles on …

We demonstrate the potential of a nitrogen-doped cuprous oxide (Cu2O: N) film as a p-type
hole-transporting layer for photovoltaic devices. To reduce back-contact resistance and …

Summary All-back-contact (ABC) architectures for perovskite photovoltaics represent
untapped potential for higher efficiency and enhanced durability compared to conventional …

Abstract Admittance measurements of Cu (In, Ga) Se2 (CIGSe) solar cells typically show at
least one capacitance step, the so‐called N1 signal. Its origin is still under debate, even …

A CdS thin film buffer layer has been widely used as conventional n-type heterojunction
partner both in established and emerging thin film photovoltaic devices. In this study, we …

Cu (In, Ga) Se2 (CIGSe) solar cells with absorber thicknesses of< 500 nm are important for
lowering the cost of photovoltaic (PV)-generated electricity. Moreover, ultrathin bifacial …

The combined effects of a significant back-contact barrier and a low absorber carrier density
frequently alter the current-voltage (JV) characteristics of CdTe solar cells. This combination …

We present a model describing the undesired roll-over which is a well-known phenomenon
in the current–voltage characteristics of CdTe solar cells. Therein, the roll-over is ascribed to …
