Enhancing performance of polar InGaN-based thin film solar cells through intrinsic layer impact optimization: Numerical modeling

The paper deals with the conception and feasibility of the device structure based on the optimized PIN-(In, Ga)N homojunction solar cells. A new and efficient model combining the most realistic ones considering the impacts of band gap narrowing, collection efficiency, Shockley-Read-Hall recombination, and interface polarization is proposed to...

Characterization of the defect density states in MoO_x for c-Si solar cell applications

Thin layers of MoO_x have been deposited by thermal evaporation followed by post-deposition annealing. The density of states distributions of the MoO_x films were extracted deconvoluting the absorption spectra, measured by a photothermal deflection spectroscopy setup, including the small polaron contribution. Results...

Advanced Light Management in Thin-Film Solar Cells

The coming years will see humanity facing significant challenges to ensure its continued survival. The threat of global warming to humans and the environment – exacerbated by rapidly growing population and energy demand – requires quick and decisive actions. Among them, increasing the generation of electricity from renewable resources is...
