Synthesis and characterization of porphyrin‐based D‐π‐A conjugated polymers for polymer solar cells
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of thin n-type metal-oxide interlayers in inverted organic solar cells.
TL;DR: It is proposed that a large additional splitting of excited states at the ZnO-Al/polymer interface leads to the considerably large photocurrent yield in inverted cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of thermal annealing on the charge transfer dynamics of a donor-acceptor copolymer and fullerene: F8T2 and F8T2:PCBM
TL;DR: Enhancement in the charge transfer process for photon energies close to the resonance maximum was observed for thermally annealed F8T2 and its blends and may suggest a strong π-electronic coupling.

An Overview of the Operational Principles, Light Harvesting and Trapping Technologies, and Recent Advances of the Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (Review)
Innocent Joseph,Innocent Joseph,Hitler Louis,Tomsmith O. Unimuke,I. S. Etim,M. M. Orosun,Joseph O. Odey +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the operational principles, light harvesting and trapping technologies, and recent advances of the DSSCs and highlight the highlight of the future prospective alongside the need to revisit the associated problems of low stability, scalability and low efficiency.
Solar Cell Temperature Dependent Efficiency and Very High Temperature Efficiency Limits
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical model has been developed to analyze Shockley-Queisser detailed balance limit, as well as the Auger, Radiative and SHR recombination limiting cases from 25 °C to 800 °C, at 1x, 500x and 2000x suns concentrations.

High‐Efficiency Solar Cell with Earth‐Abundant Liquid‐Processed Absorber
TL;DR: A non-vacuum, slurry-based coating method that combines advantages of both solution processing and particlebased deposition is shown, enabling fabrication of Cu2ZnSn(Se,S)4 devices with over 9.6% efficiency—a factor of five performance improvement relative to previous attempts to use highthroughput ink-based approaches and >40% higher than previous record devices prepared using vacuum-based methods.

19.8% efficient “honeycomb” textured multicrystalline and 24.4% monocrystalline silicon solar cells
TL;DR: In this paper, a hexagonally symmetric honeycomb surface texture was used to reduce reflection loss in multicrystalline silicon solar cells and increase the cell's effective optical thickness.
