  1. 1. Thin Indium Tin Oxide Layer Development for Crystalline Silicon/Perovskite Two Terminal Tandem Solar Cell

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

    Author : Aravind Srinivasachari; [2023]
    Keywords : Indium Tin Oxide; Thin-film characterisation; Magnetron Sputtering; Screen printing; Tandem Solar Cells; Indium-tennoxid; karaktärisering av tunnfilm; magnetronförstoftning; screentryck; tandemsolceller;

    Abstract : ITO is widely regarded as the optimal TCO for serving as front window layer in PSK/c-Si tandem solar cells. It is known to effectively mitigate several stability issues present in perovskite solar cells while demonstrating excellent lateral conductivities and optical transparency across the entire solar spectrum.

  3. 2. Robust TCO’s for CIGS solar cells based on indium tin oxide

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Julia Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : photovoltaics; solar cells; thin film photovoltaics; PV; TCO; transparent conductive oxide; indium tin oxide; ITO; CIGS; solar power; sputtering; RF sputtering; radio frequency sputtering;

    Abstract : The increasing energy demand, combined with the use of harmful non-renewable energy sources calls for the search of alternative methods to cover our energy need.Renewable energy can be harvested in different ways, through the movement of wind and water, biomass, or directly from the rays of the sun, as in the case of photovoltaic (PV) devices.

  4. 3. 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.

  5. 4. Reaction of Copper and Copper(I) Iodide with Iodine and Strong Field Ligands

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysikalisk kemi

    Author : Aya Ali; [2022]
    Keywords : in films; AFM; copper iodide; solar cells; transparent conductive films; tunnfilm; AFM; koppar jodid; solceller; transparent ledande film;

    Abstract : Perovskit solceller (PSCs) är kända som 'ljusomvandling' enheter med ökad omvandlingseffektivitiet (PCE). PSCs är kända för detta flexibilitet och hög tolerans mot defekter och består av fem lager med olika material och egenskaper. READ MORE

  6. 5. A photodegradation study of conjugated polymers for organic solar cells by absorption spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy

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

    Author : Johansson André; [2021]
    Keywords : OSC; solar cells; active layer; polymer; degradation;

    Abstract : The effect of light exposure in ambient air on thin films made from an electron acceptor polymer poly{[N,N'-bis(2-octyldodecyl)naphthalene-1,4,5,8-bis(dicarboximide)-2,6-diyl]-alt-5,5'-(2,2'-bithiophene)} (N2200), an electron donor polymer Poly[[2,3-bis(3-octyloxyphenyl)-5,8-quinoxalinediyl]-2,5-thiophenediyl] (TQ1) and their blends, has been studied using UV-vis spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). For solutions of TQ1, N2200 and blends, the linearity of the Beer-Lambert law for absorption spectroscopy has been verified. READ MORE
