Characterization of graded CIGS solar cells

Energy Procedia, 2010
AbstractThe CIGS material system has an adjustable bandgap. A ‘grading’ of the bandgap through the thickness of absorber can be used to improve cell performance. Some modern CIGS-solar cells already have a graded bandgap profile; for this work, such cells were provided by AVANCIS.

Surface Passivation of CIGS Solar Cells Using Gallium Oxide [PDF]

physica status solidi (a), 2018
This work proposes gallium oxide grown by plasma‐enhanced atomic layer deposition, as a surface passivation material at the CdS buffer interface of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells. In preliminary experiments, a metal‐insulator‐semiconductor (MIS) structure is used to compare aluminium oxide, gallium oxide, and hafnium oxide as passivation layers at the

Design and numerical analysis of CIGS-based solar cell with V2O5 as the BSF layer to enhance photovoltaic performance

AIP Advances, 2023
Copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS)-based solar cells have exhibited greater performance than the ones utilizing cadmium telluride (CdTe) or hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) as the absorber.

Perovskite/CIGS Spectral Splitting Double Junction Solar Cell with 28% Power Conversion Efficiency

iScience, 2020
Summary: The highest theoretical efficiency of double junction solar cells is predicted for architectures with the bottom cell bandgap (Eg) of approximately 0.9–1.0 eV, which is lower than that of a typical Si cell (1.1 eV). Cu(In,Ga)(Se,S)2 (CIGS) solar

Data on lateral photocurrent along a Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin film as a function of air exposure time

Data in Brief, 2019
Wavelength-dependent (i.e. penetration-depth-dependent) lateral photocurrent (iLP) measurement has been used to extract depth-resolved Lc profiles, where Lc is the minority carrier collection length by diffusion.
