1. 1. Tuning Photovoltaic Properties of Two-dimensional Molybdenum Disulfide by Alloying: An ab initio study

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Mochen Li; [2023]
   Keywords : Photovoltaic; Molybdenum disulfide; Absorption coefficient; ab initio material design; Fotovoltaisk; Molybdendisulfid; Absorptionskoefficient; ab initio materialdesign;

   Abstract : Addressing the urgent need for innovative energy solutions amidst increasing environmental concerns, the focus on photovoltaic solar cells is intensifying. Currently limited by the Shockley-Queisser limit, conventional silicon-based solar cells offer a maximum power conversion efficiency of 32%. READ MORE

3. 2. Sputtered Transparent Contact Layers for Bifacial and Tandem Solar Cells

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik

   Author : Klara Kiselman; [2022]
   Keywords : Solar cells; ITO; indium doped tin oxide; bifacial cell; tandem cell; transparent conductive oxides;

   Abstract : A key to solar cells with lower environmental impact is higher efficiency and reduced material usages. Bifacial solar cells may have a higher efficiency as light can enter from two directions and tandem solar cells may use a larger part of the incoming solar spectrum, increasing the efficiency.

4. 3. Design of LED setup for measuring tandem solar cell subcell J-V behaviour

   University essay from

   Author : Kristina Bergström; Mohammed Nour Kamalmaz; Erik Lindvall; [2022]
   Keywords : Tandem solar cell; LED; background light; bias; arduino; processing; subcell;

   Abstract : The need to accurately measure multi-junction (MJ) tandem solar cells' subcell current-voltage characteristics is increasing due to the vital information they provide about the efficiency, stability, and longevity of the cells. These measurements are rather difficult compared to their counterpart single-layer solar cell measurements. READ MORE

5. 4. Charge transfer states at polymer solar cell interfaces : Insights from atomic-scale modeling

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

   Keywords : organic solar cells; OSC; polymer; interface; charge transfer; non-fullerene acceptor; PYT; PBDB-T; DFT; TD-DFT; conformation; alkyl groups; methylation; HOMO; LUMO; FMO; NTO; UV-Vis; DOS; exciton; exciton binding energy; dipole moment; open-circuit voltage; organiska solceller; OSC; polymer; gränssnitt; laddningsöverföring; icke-fullerenacceptor; PYT; PBDB-T; DFT; TD-DFT; konformation; alkylgrupper; metylering; HOMO; LUMO; FMO; NTO; UV-Vis; DOS; exciton; excitonbindningsenergi; dipolmoment; tomgångsspänning;

   Abstract : Organic solar cells (OSCs) based on non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years due to their rapidly increasing efficiency and enormous potential. In this work, the optical and electronic properties of systems containing the very promising non-fullerene acceptor PYT have been thoroughly studied with the use of the density functional theory (DFT) and the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT).

6. 5. Synthesis and Characterization of Copper Halide Complex Materials

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysikalisk kemi

   Author : Hiroki Tomita; [2021]
   Keywords : Copper halide complexes; Coordination polymers; Photoluminescence; Bidentate ligands; Applications of thin films; Kopparhalogenidkomplex; koordinationspolymerer; fotoluminiscens; bidentata ligander; tillämpningar av tunna skikt;

   Abstract : Energiförbrukning är ett hett ämne i världen idag, eftersom världens befolkning fortsätter att växa. Som ett resultat ökar också den globala energiförbrukningen snabbt och utsläppen av koldioxid därmed, vilket påverkar global uppvärmning och klimatförändringar. READ MORE
