Adrian Chirila,Patrick Reinhard,Fabian Pianezzi,P. Bloesch,Alexander R. Uhl,C.M. Fella,Lukas Kranz,Debora Keller,Christina Gretener,Harald Hagendorfer,Dominik Jaeger,Rolf Erni,Shiro Nishiwaki,Stephan Buecheler,Ayodhya N. Tiwari +14 more
TL;DR: A new sequential post-deposition treatment of the CIGS layer with sodium and potassium fluoride is presented that enables fabrication of flexible photovoltaic devices with a remarkable conversion efficiency due to modified interface properties and mitigation of optical losses in the CdS buffer layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly efficient Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells grown on flexible polymer films
Adrian Chirila,Stephan Buecheler,Fabian Pianezzi,P. Bloesch,Christina Gretener,Alexander R. Uhl,C.M. Fella,Lukas Kranz,Julian Perrenoud,S. Seyrling,R. Verma,Shiro Nishiwaki,Yaroslav E. Romanyuk,G. Bilger,Ayodhya N. Tiwari +14 more
TL;DR: A strong composition gradient in the absorber layer is identified as the main reason for inferior performance and it is shown that, by adjusting it appropriately, very high efficiencies can be obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
