Developing CIGS solar cells on glass-ceramic substrates

Glass-(nAg, nCu) Biocide Coatings on Ceramic Oxide Substrates

The present work was focused on obtaining biocide coatings constituted by a glassy soda-lime matrix containing silver or copper nanoparticles on ceramic (alumina and zirconia based) substrates. Both glassy coatings showed a high biocide activity against Gram-, Gram+ bacteria and yeast, reducing cell numbers more than three logarithms. Silver nanoparticles had a significantly higher biocide acti...

Explanation of Light/Dark Superposition Failure in CIGS Solar Cells

CIGS solar cells in many cases show a failure of light/dark superposition of their currentvoltage (J-V) curves. Such failure generally becomes more pronounced at lower temperatures. J-V measurements under red light may also show an additional distortion, known historically as the “red kink”. The proposed explanation is that a secondary barrier results from the conduction band offset between CIG...
