Solar cell backplane film substrate

Does substrate temperature affect the back contact of thin film solar cells?

The effect of substrate temperatures was studied and optimized. An additional selenization process, forming a thin MoSe 2 layer on the Mo back contact, was introduced prior to the deposition of Sb 2 Se 3 layer, which was found to further improve the back contact of substrate Sb 2 Se 3 thin film solar cells.

Can superstrate solar cells improve the performance of SB 2 SE 3 thin films?

The superstrate solar cells, as described by and other researchers, have shown that the use of vapour transport deposition (VTD) and subsequent post-heat treatments, significantly improve the performance of Sb 2 Se 3 thin films. These improvements are demonstrated by increased Jsc, and the better FF, resulting in an efficiency exceeding 4%.

What is the substrate configuration of SB 2 SE 3 thin film solar cells?

In this work, we fabricated Sb 2 Se 3 thin film solar cells with substrate configuration of Ag/ITO/ZnO/CdS/Sb 2 Se 3 /Mo/glass. The Sb 2 Se 3 absorber layers were deposited via thermal evaporation of Sb 2 Se 3 and Se powders. The effect of substrate temperatures was studied and optimized.

What are flexible substrate-structured SB 2 S 3 solar cells?

Herein, the flexible substrate-structured Sb 2 S 3 solar cells is developed and improve device performances by the back interface selenization. The high-quality Sb 2 S 3 film with an optimal thickness of 1.8 µm, ensuring efficient spectra utilization, is deposited on flexible Mo foils by the rapid thermal evaporation technique.

Can SB2 SE 3 thin film solar cells be thermal evaporated?

Unfortunately, research on substrate structural Sb2 Se 3 thin film solar cells is very limited except the report by Chen et al., in which the Sb 2 Se 3 absorber layer were thermal-evaporated on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass. The device achieved an efficiency of 2.1% with a V OC of 354 mV and a FF of 33.5% .

Can plastic substrates be used to make solar cells?

The plastic substrate, such as PSC, allows solar cell fabrication at a low process temperature, and one future direction is to boost the efficiency and lifetime for these novel solar cells to the commercial level.
