Meeting the expectation for Terawatts production from solar technologies requires continuous development of new materials to improve efficiency and lower costs. The turnaround time for investments is shrinking, necessitating new approaches to accelerate decision-making on further research. The review provides an overview of photoemission characterization methods and theoretical approaches to expedite the transfer of emerging solar absorbers into efficient devices.
The expectation to progress towards Terawatts production by solar technologies requires continuous development of new materials to improve efficiency and lower the cost of devices beyond what is currently available at industrial level. At the same time, the turnaround time to make the investment worthwhile is progressively shrinking. Whereas traditional absorbers have developed in a timeframe spanning decades, there is an expectation that emerging materials will be converted into industrially relevant reality in a much shorter timeframe. Thus, it becomes necessary to develop new approaches and techniques that could accelerate decision-making steps on whether further research on a material is worth pursuing or not. In this review, we will provide an overview of the photoemission characterization methods and theoretical approaches that have been developed in the past decades to accelerate the transfer of emerging solar absorbers into efficient devices.
