Effects of a bathophenanthroline exciton blocking layer on thermal annealing-free bulk heterojunction solar cells
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of bathophenanthroline (Bphen) as an exciton blocking layer (EBL) on annealing-free bulk heterojunction solar cells were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved structural/morphological durability for organic solar cells based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) fibers photoactive layers
TL;DR: In this article, an approach to control the degradation pathway associated to the active material morphological instability is proposed, which can preserve the nanoscale morphology of pristine poly(3-hexylthiophene) nanofibers.

Journal ArticleDOI
New world record efficiency for Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin‐film solar cells beyond 20%
Philip Jackson,Dimitrios Hariskos,Erwin Lotter,Stefan Paetel,Roland Wuerz,Richard Menner,Wiltraud Wischmann,Michael Powalla +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a new certified world record efficiency of 20.1 and 20.3% for thin-film solar cells for the first time and analyzed the characteristics of solar cells on such a performance level and demonstrate a high degree of reproducibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
