ALD Zinc Tin Oxide Buffers for Chalcopyrite Solar Cells: Electrical Barriers and Conduction Band Cliffs
Boaz Koren, Francesco Lodola, Zhuangyi Zhou +5
Sulfide chalcopyrite, Cu(In,Ga)S2, having wide bandgap (larger than 1.5 eV), favorable optoelectronic properties, and high stability, is a promising top-cell absorber for tandem ap…
Loss analysis of Low Bandgap (Ag,Cu)(In,Ga)Se2 Solar Cells for Tandem Applications
Francesco Lodola, Sevan Gharabeiki, Maximilian Krause +3
Tandem solar cells can better harness the energy of the solar spectrum. Chalcopyrite solar cells have drawn attention, being the only highly efficient devices with bandgap around 1…
Near 13% efficient semitransparent Cu(In,Ga)S2 solar cells with band gap of 1.6 eV on transparent back contact
Kulwinder Kaur, Arivazhagan Valluvar Oli, Michele Melchiorre +4
Wide-gap Cu(In,Ga)S2 solar cells with In2O3:Sn (ITO) as transparent back contact are evaluated for the application as top cells in tandem devices. The effect of Na on the solar cel…
