Silicon-based passivating contacts: The TOPCon route

Stefan W. Glunz et al.

Summary: This paper provides an overview of the potential of passivating contacts based on poly-Si/SiOx structures known as TOPCon in improving the efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells. It discusses the historical development of such contact structures and describes the current state-of-the-art in laboratory and industry. The paper also addresses four different research topics related to TOPCon technology, including re-parametrization of recombination in silicon, control of dopant diffusion, single-sided deposition of the poly-Si layer, and the fabrication of silicon-based tunnel junctions for perovskite-silicon tandem cells.

Floating perovskite-BiVO4 devices for scalable solar fuel production

Virgil Andrei et al.

Summary: Photocathodes deposited on thin and flexible substrates achieved high activity for hydrogen production and high selectivity for CO2 reduction. The corresponding lightweight perovskite-BiVO4 PEC devices demonstrated promising solar-to-fuel efficiencies and potential for scalability. The use of lightweight reactors and the ability to float in water make them suitable for open-water applications.

Design considerations for multi-terawatt scale manufacturing of existing and future photovoltaic technologies: challenges and opportunities related to silver, indium and bismuth consumption

Yuchao Zhang et al.

Summary: To significantly impact climate change, the annual production of photovoltaic (PV) modules must increase dramatically to around 3 terawatts (TW) by 2030. However, existing and future commercial PV cell technologies face sustainable manufacturing capacity limitations due to scarce metals, necessitating significant material consumption reductions for sustainable multi-TW scale manufacturing.
