   Sammanfattning : Cu2ZnSnS4 has great potential to be applied as an earth abundant and non-toxic absorber material in thin film solar cells, based on its suitable optical properties. However, several challenges have prevented the achievable efficiencies from exceeding 12.6 %, which is well below marketable efficiencies compared to competing solar cell technologies. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to contribute to the development of improved window layer structures for chalcopyrite thin-film solar cells, with an emphasis on the buffer layer, to assist future reductions of the levelized cost of energy. This is realized by exploring the potential of existing materials and deposition processes, as well as developing new buffer layer processes based on atomic layer deposition (ALD). LÄS MER

4. 8. On Generation and Recombination in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Thin-Film Solar Cells

   Författare :Jonas Malmström; Lars Stolt; Uwe Rau; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electronics; solar energy conversion; solar cells; Cu In; Ga Se2; device modelling; optical properties; electron-hole generation; light trapping; electron-hole recombination; Elektronik; Electronics; Elektronik;

   Sammanfattning : The solar cell technology based on Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin-films provides a promising route to cost competitive solar electricity. The standard device structure is ZnO:Al/ZnO/CdS/CIGS/Mo films on a glass substrate, where the first three layers are n-type semiconductors with wide bandgaps, forming a pn-junction with the p-type CIGS absorber layer; the Mo layer serves as a back contact.

   Sammanfattning : To decrease the world’s energy dependence on fossil fuels, energy production and specifically electricity production needs to shift to more sustainable alternatives. One such alternative is solar cells as they directly convert energy emitted from the sun into electricity. LÄS MER

7. 10. Nanoplasmonics for solar cells

   Författare :Viktoria Gusak; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; enhanced near-field; adsorption; titanium dioxide; Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance; amorphous hydrogenated Silicon; diffusion; Langmuir kinetics; Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell; plasmonic nanoparticle; mesoporous material; diffusion-front model;

   Sammanfattning : The main source of our energy system, the fossil fuels, will eventually be depleted and also pose environmental and climate hazards. There is thus a need for alternative, renewable energy sources. Solar (photovoltaic) cells will play an important role as one of them. LÄS MER
