TOPcon route with quantum wells in GaInP/Si dual junction cell for efficiency enhancement

Manish Verma et al.

Summary: The GaInP/Si dual junction solar cell with Quantum Well and TOPCon technology has achieved an efficiency of 41.91% in the simulation model. The quantum wells enhance the short circuit current without causing significant degradation of the open circuit voltage. By incorporating InP quantum wells and applying TOPCon technology, the overall efficiency of the dual junction cell is enhanced.

Tuning the bandgap of Cd1-xZnxS (x=0∼1) buffer layer and CIGS absorber layer for obtaining high efficiency

T. Hossain et al.

Summary: This numerical study focuses on the CIGS solar cell with a Cd1-xZnxS buffer layer, analyzing the composition of the buffer layer, its impact on performance parameters, and the influence of buffer layer thickness on quantum efficiency. The study shows that the tuned bandgap and optimized thickness of the Cd1-xZnxS buffer layer can affect the bandgap of the CIGS absorber layer, thus impacting the overall performance of the cell.

Formation of Cu(In,Ga)S2 chalcopyrite thin films following a 3-stage co-evaporation process

A. Thomere et al.

Summary: This study investigates the origin of the bi-layered structure of CuIn1-xGaxS2 (CIGS) films deposited following a 3-stage process. Interrupting the growth at key steps and characterizing the differences using various techniques, a model attributing composition plateaus to the formation of Cu-poor crystalline phases is proposed.

Effects of KF and RbF treatments on Cu(In,Ga)Se-2-based solar cells: A combined photoelectron spectroscopy and DFT study

I. Majumdar et al.

Summary: The work investigates the alkali-induced chemical and electronic modifications at the KF- and RbF-treated Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 (CIGSe)/CdS interfaces, which are correlated to a Density Functional Theoretical (DFT) model of the alkali metal induced point defects at a CuInSe2/CdS interface. The analysis reveals different compositions at the interfaces, indicating possible formation of specific defects and changes in acceptor and donor densities, ultimately resulting in enhanced type-inversion and improvements in fill factor (FF) and open-circuit voltage (Voc) gains in devices.
