Bandgap gradient is a proven approach for improving the open-circuit voltages (VOCs) in
Cu (In, Ga) Se2 and Cu (Zn, Sn) Se2 thin-film solar cells, but has not been realized in Cd …

One of the primary research challenges for cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells is
addressing its open‐circuit voltage (VOC) deficit. While theoretical studies and single crystal …

There are limited choices for front-surface, electron-selective contacts (emitters) for CdTe
solar cells, thus hindering scientific and technical development. Here we investigate the …

The insertion of a highly resistive transparent (HRT) layer with the ability to transfer an
optimum portion of the UV range of sunlight is targeted in this study by bandgap engineering …

High-efficiency, lightweight, and flexible solar cells are sought for a variety of applications
particularly when high power density and flexible form factors are desired. Development of …

Arsenic (As) has been shown to be an effective p-type dopant for CdTe, although high
performance in As-doped devices remains difficult to achieve. Arsenic is prone to self …

This study evaluated the impact of the deposition pressure on the formation of cadmium
telluride (CdTe) thin films on ultra-thin (100 µm) Schott glass substrate at high temperature …

Taking advantage of electrode thicknesses well beyond conventional dimensions allowed
us to follow the surface plasmonic THz frequency phenomenon with vacuum wavelengths of …

The open circuit voltage (V OC) deficit in Cd (Se, Te)-based photovoltaics remains a critical
obstacle for pushing the technology closer to theoretical performance limits. Arsenic do** …
