Ultra‐Broadband Optical Characterization of TiO2 Nanotube Arrays Revealing Annealing‐Tunable THz Absorption

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 15, 13 August 2026.
Lithography‐free spaced TiO2 NT arrays unlock tunable broadband absorption from THz to UV. By harnessing annealing‐driven phase transitions, strong phonon–polariton resonances emerge in the 1.4–3.6 THz range, whereas high absorptance persists beyond 10 THz.

Grid Optimization of Tunnel Oxide Passivated Back Contact Silicon Solar Cells

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 8, Page 1037-1051, August 2026.
The grid pattern design of tunnel oxide passivated back contact silicon solar cells were optimized via device simulation and the estimated cell efficiency was correlated to the required Ag paste consumption. The absolute efficiency gain of zero‐busbar design over pad‐based contact design is more than 0.1%, with increasing advantage when the Ag paste ...
