The characterization of p-GaAs/i-InGaAsN/n-GaAs hetero-junction solar cell with various DMHy flow rates

Wu T.H., National Cheng Kung University, TW

Since the high efficiency tandem solar cell sturcture has been reported, the conversion efficiency of triple-junction solar cells would achieve 40% with concentrator. To further enhance the conversion efficiency of solar cells, the fourth-junction is [...]

Study of ZnO/InP by AES and EELS associated to CASINO simulation for use as solar cells

Ouerdane A., Bouslam M., Ghaffour M., Abdellaoui A., Jardin C., Centre Universitaire Khemis Miliana, AS

Abstract: ZnO is a metallic oxide ,its electrical resistivity (10--5Ωcm) and its high transmittance (80–90%) in the visible range give it a particular importance as electrode for photovoltaic conversion in solar cells. In the ten [...]

Comparing the Efficiency of Silicon Based Solar Cells with Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
