Because
bifacial solar cells increase the power generated per area,
their market share is projected to increase over the next decade.
While silicon technologies have implemented bifacial technology, little
progress has occurred in bifacial thin film (BTF) solar cells. Understanding
the factors that limit performance is critical to advancing BTF cells.
We show that recombination at the back interface has limited device
performance of fabricated BTF devices. Improved BTF performance will
require decreasing recombination at the back interface, through passivation
or by reducing downward band-bending at this interface. Increasing
carrier lifetimes improves performance, but increasing hole density
has little effect.
Cu3PS4 nanoparticles are used as a new inorganic hole selective layer (HSL) to fabricate efficient perovskite thin-film solar cells in the inverted device configuration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
