Revisiting the Rate-Dependent Mechanical Response of Typical Silicon Structures via Molecular Dynamics

Nanomaterials, 2022
Strain rate is a critical parameter in the mechanical application of nano-devices. A comparative atomistic study on both perfect monocrystalline silicon crystal and silicon nanowire was performed to investigate how the strain rate affects the mechanical ...

20%-efficient polycrystalline Cd(Se,Te) thin-film solar cells with compositional gradient near the front junction

Nature Communications, 2022
Bandgap gradient is a promising approach to improve the open-circuit voltage in thin film solar cells. Here, authors incorporate a Cd(O,S,Se,Te) region to realize the bandgap gradient at front interface and demonstrate Cd(Se,Te) solar cells with reduced ...

Degradation Mechanism Due to Water Ingress Effect on the Top Contact of Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ Solar Cells

Energies, 2020
The impact of moisture ingress on the surface of copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) solar cells was studied. While industry-scale modules are encapsulated in specialized polymers and glass, over time, the glass can break and the encapsulant can ...

One‐Step Formation of Low Work‐Function, Transparent and Conductive MgFxOy Electron Extraction for Silicon Solar Cells

Advanced Science, 2022
The development of high‐performance dopant‐free silicon solar cells is severely bottlenecked by opaque electron selective contact. In this paper, high transmittance (80.5% on glass) and low work function (2.92 eV) lithium fluoride (LiFx)/MgFxOy electron ...
