Photoconductive materials for solar cells

What is semiconductor materials for solar photovoltaic cells?

Semiconductor Materials for Solar Photovoltaic Cells presents the current state of the art as well as key details about future strategies to increase the efficiency and reduce costs, with particular focus on how to reduce the gap between laboratory scale efficiency and commercial module efficiency.

What materials are used for solar-to-electricity conversion?

Expert chapters cover the full range of semiconductor materials for solar-to-electricity conversion, from crystalline silicon and amorphous silicon to cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium sulfide selenides, dye sensitized solar cells, organic solar cells, and environmentally friendly copper zinc tin sulfide selenides.

What are solar cells made of?

Solar cells are made of semiconductor materials; given the broad solar spectrum, their fundamental efficiency limit is determined by several factors (Fig. 1).

Are perovskite solar cells based on a dye-sensitized solar cell?

Despite the ultra-long carrier diffusion lengths in these materials 4, progress in the field has been dominated by perovskite solar cells (PSCs) that use mesoscopic TiO 2 electron transport layers (ETLs) derived from the dye-sensitized solar cell community.

Which hole transport materials are used in P-i-n structured perovskite solar cells?

In inverted p-i-n structured perovskite solar cells, PEDOT:PSS, ploy (triaryl amine) (PTAA), and NiOx are the most commonly used hole transport materials (HTMs). However, these materials have drawbacks that hinder the further enhancement of device performance.

What is a polymer solar cell?

All polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) are composed of polymer donor and polymer acceptor within active layer. Due to their excellent morphological and mechanical stability, all-PSCs show obvious advantages in the application of flexible and large-area OSCs, which have attracted wide attention from researchers.
