To improve silicon heterojunction solar cells even further, minimizing transport losses within
the charge carrier selective junctions and layers is mandatory. With this in mind, we present …

In silicon heterojunction solar cells made with high-lifetime wafers, resistive losses in the
contacts dominate the total electrical power loss. Moreover, it is widely believed that the hole …

The ultraviolet-induced degradation (UVID), with losses of up to 11% after 2000 h-exposure
(Sinha et al., 2023)[1], impairs long-term stability of silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells at …

Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell device structures use carrier-selective contacts that
enable efficient collection of majority carriers while impeding the collection of minority …

Over the last years, the dominating charge carrier transport barrier in silicon heterojunction
(SHJ) solar cells could be boiled down to the contact of the indium–tin oxide (ITO) to the …

An accelerated transition from fossil fuels to sustainable, low-carbon energy sources is
needed to limit global warming to the critical 1. 5 C threshold, as envisioned by the Paris …

Transport related losses in the heterojunction stack are a limitation on the power output of
silicon heterojunction solar cells. We present contact resistivity measurements of the …

The application of silicon thin films in solar cells has evolved from their use in amorphous
silicon solar cells to their use as passivating and carrier-selective contacts in crystalline …

Most modern silicon heterojunction solar cells use electron/hole-selective contacts in order
to efficiently collect photogenerated carriers. Carrier-selective contacts are important as they …

In recent years, silicon photovoltaic technologies utilizing amorphous silicon (a-Si) to form
heterojunction solar cells with thin intrinsic (HIT) passivating layers have consistently …
