High-Efficiency Precipitate Recycling Strategy Paves the Way for Efficient Sb<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub> Solar Cells Fabricated by CBD Method. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)A novel PR strategy was proposed to improve CBD‐derived Sb2S3 film quality. It synergistically optimized the CBO of CdS/Sb2S3 interface and the back‐contact barrier, while the VS2 donor defect was converted into SSb2 acceptor defect with lower concentration.

Rethinking Charge Transport and Recombination in Donor‐Diluted Organic Solar Cells
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Organic solar cells with 1–45% PM6 content in Y12 were studied to link structure and charge dynamics to performance. The conductivity follows a 3D percolation model without a sharp threshold. Donor dilution preserves the photogeneration yield, but limits the fill factor due to transport resistance losses.

Ridge aperture antenna array as a high efficiency coupler for photovoltaic applications [PDF]
, 2011 Weak absorption of light near the absorption band edge of a photovoltaic material is one limiting factor on the efficiency of photovoltaics. This is particularly true for silicon thin-film solar cells because of the short optical path lengths and limited
