Superimposed Sacrificial Texturing to Enhance the Optical Performance in Thin‐Film Solar Cells
Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.Sacrificial texturing method using controlled etching of undoped zinc oxide and indium‐doped tin oxide generates microscale and nanoscale textures on glass. Roughness on two different scales is superimposed to create a new texture capable of broad‐spectrum scattering, which is utilised in thin‐film silicon solar cells to enhance optical performance ...

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.This study investigates the UV‐induced degradation of silicon heterojunction cell precursors by isolating the impact of subcell layers under controlled UVA and UVB irradiation. Front hydrogenated amorphous silicon (i/n)a‐Si:H selective layers are identified as key degradation sites, leading to significant losses in minority carrier lifetime and iVoc ...

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.High performance of Gd2Ru2O7‐based natural dye‐sensitized solar cell using three different dyes (Anacardium, B. nitida, and Lannea kerstingii barks) has been developed. Enhanced energy conversion efficiency values were obtained compared to classical TiO2 P25‐based DSSC. ABSTRACT Natural dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSC‐N), inspired by the principles of

On the Electron Transport in Simplified IBC‐SHJ Solar Cells With MoOx Blanket Layer
Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.In this work, we present a study of electron transport through a novel (n)nc‐Si:H/MoOx stack to improve the understanding and performance of simplified IBC‐SHJ solar cells with MoOx blanket layer. The champion solar cell fabricated with the optimized contact stack and metalized with copper electroplating enables efficiencies beyond 23.5%.

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.This study investigates high‐mobility, low carrier concentration (CC) transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) as back contacts in bifacial Cu (In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells. These TCOs enhance rear‐side light absorption in CIGS and external quantum efficiency, improving overall performance by offering high transparency, low reflectance, and maintaining ...
