  1. 1. Morphological study of PS/PMMA-matrix on glass, related to vapour pressure, mass-fraction, and size

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörs- och kemivetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Gustav Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : organic solar cells; polymer; morphology; film; AFM;

    Abstract : The objective of this study is to observe how changing amount or ratio between dried mixes of poly-methyl-methacrylate and poly-styrene change the surface appearance, and how the results might inform future design of Organic photovoltaic cells, whom are based on polymer mixtures and heavenly dependent on the arrangement of polymers. An atomic force microscope was used on glass surfaces coated in a poly-methyl-methacrylate/poly-styrene matrix and dried from either dichloromethane or ethyl-acetate to determine surface appearance.

  3. 2. Recycling end-of-life silicon PV panel with molten salt bath

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Liying Yu; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Solar energy is recognized as a clean way to produce electricity. Solar PV's installed capacity is increasing in recent years. However, a PV panel has a 25-year lifespan on average. In actuality, 95% of the mass of PV components can be recycled. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigation of Bismuth Iodine as Light Absorbing Materials for Solar Cell Applications: From Synthesis to XPS Characterisation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekyl- och kondenserade materiens fysik

    Author : Jonatan Fast; [2017]
    Keywords : Bismuth; Iodine; Light absorbing; Light absorbing materials; Solar; solar cell; Synthesis; XPS; Characterisation; synchrotron; energy; x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; perovskite;

    Abstract : During the last years perovskite materials have taken the photovoltaic community by storm, bringing promises of solar cells with efficiencies comparable to conventional silicon devices but at a lower price. However perovskite solar cells so far are facing two main obstacles, they are unstable in the presence of air, moisture and heat and they are usually toxic due to being based on lead-halide materials.

  5. 4. Comparing morphology in dip-coated and spin-coated polyfluorene:fullerene films

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörs- och kemivetenskaper

    Author : Paulien Van fraeyenhoven; [2016]
    Keywords : solar cell; morphology; coating; spectroscopy;

    Abstract : Unsustainable energy sources are running out and global warming is getting worse. Therefore the need for renewable energy sources is growing. Solar cells are a popular options used as an energy source. Most popular are the inorganic photovoltaic cells. READ MORE

  6. 5. Nanowire Peel-Off for Tandem Solar Cell Applications

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Hanna Dickèr; [2016]
    Keywords : Nanotandem; Tandem Solar Cells; Nanowires; Photovoltaics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Nanowires provide interesting features for photovoltaic applications. Materials with desirable band gaps can be combined into heterostructures with very little strain and with a fraction of the material consumption seen in conventional solar devices. READ MORE
