Alloying to Tune the Bandgap of the AM2Pn2 Zintl Compounds
Andrew Pike, Zhenkun Yuan, Muhammad Rubaiat Hasan +6
The AM2Pn2 Zintl compounds are a large class of semiconductor materials that have a wide range of bandgaps and are mostly stable in the same crystal structure. Representative compo…
A Map of the Zintl AM2Pn2 Compounds: Influence of Chemistry on Stability and Electronic Structure
Andrew Pike, Zhenkun Yuan, Gideon Kassa +9
The AM2Pn2 (A= Ca, Sr, Ba, Yb, Mg; M= Mn, Zn, Cd, Mg; and Pn=N, P, As, Sb, Bi) family of Zintl phases has been known as thermoelectric materials and has recently gained much attent…
Low-Temperature Synthesis of Stable CaZnP Zintl Phosphide Thin Films as Candidate Top Absorbers
Shaham Quadir, Zhenkun Yuan, Guillermo Esparza +14
The development of tandem photovoltaics and photoelectrochemical solar cells requires new absorber materials with band gaps in the range of ~1.5-2.3 eV, for use in the top cell pai…
Assessing carrier mobility, dopability, and defect tolerance in the chalcogenide perovskite BaZrS
Zhenkun Yuan, Diana Dahliah, Romain Claes +4
The chalcogenide perovskite BaZrS has attracted much attention as a promising solar absorber for thin-film photovoltaics. Here, we use first-principles calculations to evaluate…
FeMnNiAlCr High Entropy Alloys with High-Efficiency Surface Oxide Solar Absorbers for Concentrating Solar Power Systems
Xiaoxue Gao, Edwin Jiang, Andrew Pike +8
High entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted substantial interest in recent years. Thus far, most investigations have focused on their applications as structural materials rather than…
Discovery of the Zintl-phosphide BaCdP as a long carrier lifetime and stable solar absorber
Zhenkun Yuan, Diana Dahliah, Muhammad Rubaiat Hasan +17
Thin-film photovoltaics offers a path to significantly decarbonize our energy production. Unfortunately, current materials commercialized or under development as thin-film solar ce…
