The sharp increase of research passion in the new-generation solar cells in recent years
has resulted in a new trend in combining multiple types of energy devices in a single device …

Silicon heterojunction solar cells consist of thin amorphous silicon layers deposited on
crystalline silicon wafers. This design enables energy conversion efficiencies above 20% at …

Global-warming-induced climate changes and socioeconomic issues increasingly stimulate
reviews of renewable energy. Among energy-generation devices, solar cells are often …

Damage of the hydrogenated amorphous/crystalline silicon interface passivation during
transparent conductive oxide sputtering is reported. This occurs in the fabrication process of …

Energy materials and energy devices, extremely relevant to our society, are specially
concerned by phenomena taking place at the nanoscale, in particular at the interfaces and …

The mathematical dependence of bandgap-voltage offset on Auger and radiative
recombination is derived. To study the recombination near the intrinsic limit, we manufacture …

The impact of intrinsic amorphous silicon bilayers in amorphous silicon/crystalline silicon (a-
Si: H/c-Si) heterojunction solar cells is investigated. The microstructure factor R* of the …

As an alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO), aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) has been
actively investigated due to its low cost. In this study, different transparent conductive oxide …

In this paper, we report the evolution of silicon heterojunction solar cell properties focusing,
in particular, on the indium tin oxide (ITO) layers upon consecutive thermal annealing. We …

Unlike the widely studied upper interface [interface between the hole transport layer and
perovskite in n–i–p perovskite solar cells (PSCs)] which only transports carriers, the …
