However, there are major challenges in managing charge carrier recombination to achieve high efficiency, according to Longi.

Pooling the expertise of 44 specialists from Europe, the USA and Japan who are actively engaged in amorphous silicon R&D, this text explores the properties, preparation and exploitation of amorphous ...

The scientists also say the voltage is interesting because it shows how much energy is lost in the cell through recombination processes – which occur when charge carriers in solar cells fall ...

Researchers have come up with a way to turn silicon into a direct bandgap semiconductor, opening the door to the manufacture of ultrathin silicon solar cells.

The remaining surface defects trapped the electrical charge carriers generated by sunlight and triggered their recombination, reducing the device efficiency to lower levels than those achieved ...

A team of researchers have discovered a metal-organic framework (MOF) that suppresses charge recombination, which is a major ...

The confinement of charge carriers in quantum wells enhances the efficiency of radiative recombination, leading to high-performance light-emitting devices. Quantum well lasers offer low threshold ...
