PERC-like contact for CdTe Solar Cells
Project ID: D2019-40BackgroundCdCl2 activation is a well-known method to passivate grain boundaries for CdTe solar cells. In crystalline silicon solar cells, manufacturers have started to modify film structures to incorporate a passivated layer. These are called Passivated Emitter and Rear Cells (PERC). The additional layer decreases the recombination...

Inexpensive, Earth-Abundant, and Tunable Hole Transport Material for CdTe Solar Cells
Project ID: D2017-08Background Photovoltaic (PV) cells have been produced with a wide variety of materials for each functional layer. The typical PV is a substrate layer coated with a semiconductor layer and two ohmic contacts. Thin film solar cells use a thin absorbing layer, such as Cadmium telluride (CdTe). CdTe is the most eco-friendly, high efficiency,...
