Advanced Characterization Techniques for Thin Film Solar Cells Rau U., Abou-Ras D., Kirchartz T.
Publisher: Wiley

Researchers are using ORNL's neutron scattering facilities to help develop new manufacturing techniques to improve the efficiency of thin-film solar cells. The candidates will work with deposition of thin films, primarily with pulsed laser deposition (PLD), and the subsequent characterization by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and other optical, spectroscopic methods. Thin-film cells of only a thickness of 1 µm have recently appeared on the market, but usually they contain the metal indium, which is not available (or sufficiently inexpensive) for a large scale production of solar cell materials.

Improving material quality and developing advanced materials characterization techniques are key topics being addressed by the Shanghai team.

Nano-sandwich technique slims down solar cells, improves efficiency. Now, for the first time Sharp Corporation has successfully developed mass- production technology for stacked triple-junction thin-film solar cells by turning a conventional two-active-layer structure (amorphous silicon plus microcrystalline . The computational tools he is developing will help classify and characterize the way the plastic thin film cells respond to different conditions and configurations.

Advanced Characterization Techniques for Thin Film Solar CellsFrom Wiley-VCH Description. Advanced Characterization Techniques for Thin Film Solar CellsFrom Wiley-VCH Feature. Is focused on designing better organic solar cells. To be inexpensive enough to compete with silicon cells, thin-film solar cells must be more than 10 percent efficient, but so far, the best ones are only about 8.3 percent efficient. Currently no textbook outlining the basic theoretical background, methods of fabrication and applications currently exist. Using a highly sensitive method of measurement, HZB physicists have managed to localize defects in amorphous/crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells. Wodo has created, combined with the high performance computers at Iowa State, are allowing us to do what has never been possible in the field,” said Ganapathysubramanian.
