Light management has gained wide interest for various types of solar cells. This paper
reviews the application of nanostructures for light management to chalcopyrite (CIGSe) type …

Solution methods have been widely explored in chalcogenide photovoltaics because of their
simple processes and low cost. Currently, the solvents used in many solution processes are …

Novel architectures for light trap** in ultrathin Cu (In, Ga) Se 2 (CIGS) solar cells are
proposed and numerically investigated. They are composed of a flat CIGS layer with …

The benefits of reducing the thickness of the Cu (In, Ga) Se 2 absorber (CIGS) in thin film
solar cells outweighs the reduced material costs and production time. It also lowers the …

We studied the effect of seed layer deposition time on the growth of ZnO nanorods by using
potentiostatic electrolysis. Microstructural, optical and photoelectrochemical responses of …

In this work, we evaluate the effect of NaF layers on the properties of Al 2 O 3 and HfO 2 rear
contact passivation layers in ultra-thin Cu (In, Ga) Se 2 solar cells. The 6 nm thin passivation …

This work elaborates on the high scattering which dielectric nanorods exhibit and how it can
be exploited to control light propagation across material interfaces. A detailed overview of …

An optimized test structure to study rear surface passivation in Cu (In, Ga) Se2 (CIGS) solar
cells by means of photoluminescence (PL) is developed and tested. The structure–illustrated …

The quest for material‐efficient Cu (In, Ga) Se2 (CIGS) solar cells encourages the
development of ultra‐thin absorbers. Their use reduces material consumption and energy …

In this work, a low cost passivated back-contact for ultra-thin Cu (In, Ga) Se 2-based (CIGS)
solar cells to improve the carrier collection is developed. The current loss due to rear …
