Robust passivation of CdSeTe based solar cells using reactively sputtered magnesium zinc oxide

Gavin Yeung et al.

Summary: Magnesium zinc oxide (MZO) is a leading emitter for CdTe-based solar cells, achieving high efficiency when deposited on alloyed cadmium selenide telluride (CST) absorbers. The formation of an oxygenated interface layer during the reactive sputtering process contributes to the exceptional device performance.

3D/2D passivation as a secret to success for polycrystalline thin-film solar cells

Deborah L. McGott et al.

Summary: Polycrystalline photovoltaic materials offer low costs and good scalability, but grain boundaries in these materials may affect carrier recombination. Recent studies have shown that passivation of absorber surfaces through the formation of low-dimensional van der Waals materials can improve device performance in polycrystalline thin-film photovoltaics.

Summary: By using large CdSeTe grains at the absorber/emitter interface, intragrain passivation in the absorber layer, and chemical passivation by forming nanoscale oxidized tellurium species at the transparent conducting oxide interface, the carrier lifetime in CdTe solar cells has significantly increased to values exceeding 200 ns.
