Diffusion-free Back Contact Solar Cells On S-passivated Si(100) Substrates
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2008-04-22)
A diffusion-free back contact solar cell is proposed in this work. The textured front-side of this cell is coated with ~100 nm thermal SiO2 to enhance the light trapping meanwhile reduce the surface recombination velocity ...
Synthesis And Characterization Of Polythiophene Derivatives
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2007-10-08)
In Chapter 1, the history of conducting polymers, especially polythiophene and its derivatives, was briefly reviewed. Different approaches of structural modifications to afford small bandgap polythiophene derivatives were ...
