Recent studies of thin-film CdS/CdTe photovoltaic (PV) devices have suggested that a significantly higher device performance will not be achieved unless recombination in the CdTe is reduced. Although some control of CdTe recombination has been achiev

Many studies of thin-film CdS/CdTe photovoltaic devices have suggested that performance may be improved by reducing recombination due to Te-vacancy (VTe), Te antisite (TeCd), or Te-interstitial (Tei) defects. Although formation of these intrinsic def

Interface formation in HVPE GaAs was investigated through the growth of multilayer test structures with alternately doped and undoped layers and subsequently, pn diode devices. Two growth procedures were used in device formation: continuous growth of

Flexible CdTe solar cells on ultra-thin glass substrates can enable new applications that require high specific power, unique form-factors, and low manufacturing costs. To be successful, these cells must be cost competitive, have high efficiency, and

We study the use of cadmium telluride (CdTe) nanocrystal colloids as a solution-processable "ink" for large-grain CdTe absorber layers in solar cells. The resulting grain structure and solar cell performance depend on the initial nanocrystal size, sh

Flexible, superstrate CdTe devices combine the advantages of a commercially demonstrated, low-cost manufacturing process with a lightweight, flexible form factor. Here, we present data on cell efficiencies greater than 16%, and the critical processin

High-performance transparent conductive indium-tin-oxide (ITO) films on flexible glass have been flextested to 25–50k bend cycles without breakage, and with ∼0.1% change in sheet resistance. In contrast, commercial ITO/PET samples undergo ∼50

We have furthered the development of CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) to create bulk, sintered films for ink-based solar cells. Here, respectable efficiencies of >10% have been achieved in devices where CdTe tetrapods are spincoated from pyridine, treated wit

In this work, we report on the development of a reactive sputtering process for CdS:O for high efficiency CdTe solar cells. X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry, and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry were used to characterize the crys
