Ultrathin solar cells with thicknesses at least 10 times lower than conventional solar cells
could have the unique potential to efficiently convert solar energy into electricity while …

Throughout human history, the control of light, electricity and heat has evolved to become
the cornerstone of various innovations and developments in electrical and electromagnetic …

Dust accumulation on solar panels is a major challenge, as it blocks a large portion of
sunlight. Solar panels are therefore cleaned regularly using large quantities of pure water …

Over the last few decades, the demand of polymeric structures with well‐defined features of
different size, dimension, and functionality has increased from various application areas …

We explore substoichiometric molybdenum trioxide (MoO x, x< 3) as a dopant-free, hole-
selective contact for silicon solar cells. Using an intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon …

We report on the design, fabrication, and measurement of ultrathin film a-Si: H solar cells
with nanostructured plasmonic back contacts, which demonstrate enhanced short circuit …

Theory predicts that periodic photonic nanostructures should outperform their random
counterparts in trap** light in solar cells. However, the current certified world-record …

Plasmonic nanostructures have been recently investigated as a possible way to improve
absorption of light in solar cells. The strong interaction of small metal nanostructures with …

In recent years, spectroscopic ellipsometry has been applied extensively to characterize the
optical properties of various materials incorporated into photovoltaic devices. Among many …

Nanoimprint lithography (NIL), a molding process, can replicate features< 10 nm over large
areas with long-range order. We describe the early development and fundamental principles …
