In the past few decades, the fabrication of solar cells has been considered as one of the
most promising ways to meet the increasing energy demands to support the development of …

We present an overview of opto-electronic characterization techniques for solar cells
including light-induced charge extraction by linearly increasing voltage, impedance …

Crystalline silicon solar cells have dominated the photovoltaic market since the very
beginning in the 1950's. Silicon is non-toxic and abundantly available in the earth crust …

Inorganic lead free double perovskite oxides Ln 2 NiMnO 6 (Ln= La, Eu, Dy and Lu) with a
variation of band gap from 1.08 to 1.19 eV have been synthesized for the photovoltaic …

By employing graphene quantum dots (GQDs), we have achieved a high efficiency of
16.55% in n-type Si heterojunction solar cells. The efficiency enhancement is based on the …

The current cost distribution of a crystalline silicon PV module is clearly dominated by
material costs, especially by the costs of the silicon wafer. Therefore cell designs that allow …

Single-crystal Czochralski silicon used for photovoltaics is typically supersaturated with
interstitial oxygen at temperatures just below the melting point. Oxide precipitates therefore …

Since its invention in the 1950s, semiconductor solar cell technology has evolved in great
leaps and bounds. Solar power is now being considered as a serious leading contender for …

Hierarchical structures combining micropyramids and nanowires with appropriate control of
surface carrier recombination represent a class of architectures for radial pn junction solar …

This paper presents a direct quantitative comparison of the effectiveness of boron diffusion,
phosphorus diffusion, and aluminum alloying in removing interstitial iron in crystalline silicon …
