High Light Utilization and Color Rendering in Vacuum‐Deposited Semitransparent Perovskite Solar Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, low bandgap (≈1.55 eV) semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST‐PSCs) having thin (thickness < ≈100 nm) perovskite layers and transparent conductive oxide‐based rear electrodes are fabricated using vacuum‐deposition methods. Two different ST‐PSCs demonstrated a high light utilization efficiency value of 4.2 (PCE: 9.26% and AVT: 45.3 ...

Experimental and Numerical Investigations on the Fluidized Heat Absorption inside Quartz Glass and Metal Tubes

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Air as a heat transfer fluid has been widely studied in concentrated solar-power generations, but the solar energy absorbed by air inside transparent and opaque tubes has not been comparatively investigated.

Photovoltaic Solar Textiles [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Conference on the Challenges, Opportunities, Innovations and Applications in Electronic Textiles, 2019
Solar cells are an option for powering active electronics on textiles, but should be fully integrated to avoid compromising the flexibility and handle of the basic fabric. Photovoltaic (PV) cells conventionally use rigid silicon wafers but there are also thin-film options, although some are sensitive to moisture and oxygen, and others require ...
