Focus issue: thin-film photovoltaic materials and devices.
The recent tragic event of the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico reminds us of the challenges of developing sources of energy that are not only abundant and economical but, more importantly, are also as harmless as possible to the environment. Among renewable energy sources, solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies show great potential, as they convert directly sun light into electricity with...
متن کاملNanomanufacturing of Emerging 2D Materials for Thin-Film Photovoltaic Applications
2D layered transition metal dichalcogenides (LTMDs) attracted a great deal of interests because of their attractive electronic, optoelectronic and mechanical properties, versatile chemistry, and large natural abundance. Especially, a single semiconducting LTMD (e.g., WSe 2 , WS 2 , and MoS 2) layer (~0.5 nm thick) can absorb as much sunlight as 50 nm of Si (or 12 nm of GaAs) and generate curren...
متن کاملPhotonic quasicrystal nanopatterned silicon thin film for photovoltaic applications
In this letter, the authors numerically studied the optical properties of silicon photonic quasicrystal (PQC) nanohole array for photovoltaic applications. With the same active layer thickness, the ultimate efficiency of a solar cell integrated with an optimized PQC nanohole array can be enhanced by 9.01% and 1.40% as compared to that with an ordered square lattice of nanohole array and a rando...
متن کاملOrganic Thin Film Photovoltaic Devices from Discotic Materials
Since the {irst demonstration of organic photo voltaic devices much progress has been made. Organic solar cells reach now power conversion efficiencies of up to 3% over the solar spectrum. The morphology of the active film is very important for efficient devices. Films spin-coated from blend solutions phase separate. The scale of the phase separation depends on the solvent, solubility of the ma...
متن کاملThin-film ferroelectric materials and their applications
| Ferroelectric materials, because of their robust spontaneous electrical polarization, are widely used in various applications. Recent advances in modelling, synthesis and characterization techniques are spurring unprecedented advances in the study of these materials. In this Review, we focus on thin-film ferroelectric materials and, in particular, on the possibility of controlling their prope...
