Photovoltaic (PV) conversion of solar energy starts to give an appreciable contribution to
power generation in many countries, with more than 90% of the global PV market relying on …

Thin, flexible, and efficient silicon solar cells would revolutionize the photovoltaic market and
open up new opportunities for PV integration. However, as an indirect semiconductor, silicon …

Defect‐induced trap states are essential in determining the performance of semiconductor
photodetectors. The de‐trap time of carriers from a deep trap can be prolonged by several …

Intensive effort has led to numerous breakthroughs for photoprocesses. So far, however,
energy conversion efficiency for the visible-light photocatalytic splitting of water is still very …

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells including dye-sensitized solar cells and
photoelectrochemical water splitting devices are a promising approach to effectively …

The front‐side reflection represents a significant optical loss in solar cells. One way to
minimize this optical loss is to nano‐texture the front surface. Although nano‐textured …

This work proposes a multiscale modeling and operation framework for plasma-enhanced
chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of thin film silicon solar cells with uniform thickness and …

In this work, we present the application of poly-Si carrier-selective passivating contacts
(CSPCs) as both polarities in interdigitated back-contacted (IBC) solar cell architectures. We …

ABSTRACT Crystalline Si (c‐Si) technology is dominating the photovoltaics market. These
modules are nonetheless still relatively expensive, in particular because of the costly silicon …

Reflection occurs at an air–material interface. The development of antireflection schemes,
which aims to cancel such reflection, is important for a wide variety of applications including …
