Publisher: Institution of Engineering and Technology
ISBN: 1785612468
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en

Book Description
Surface passivation of silicon solar cells describes a technology for preventing electrons and holes to recombine prematurely with one another on the wafer surface. It increases the cell's energy conversion efficiencies and thus reduces the cost per kWh generated by a PV system.

Development of Thin Films Deposited by ALD for C-Si Solar Cells

Book Description
In this work, we have developed thin layers deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technique to be applied in high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells. In particular, we selected to study the aluminium oxide (Al2O3) as a surface passivation mechanism and the titanium dioxide (TiO2) as a selective contact for electrons. To characterize the Al2O3 we have done two studies: deposition thickness and pre-deposition cleaning process. In both studies we have measured the effective surface recombination velocity (Seff), where we get results comparable to the state of the art with Seff

Physics and Technology of Amorphous-Crystalline Heterostructure Silicon Solar Cells
Author: Wilfried G. J. H. M. van Sark
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642222757
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 588
Book Description
Today’s solar cell multi-GW market is dominated by crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafer technology, however new cell concepts are entering the market. One very promising solar cell design to answer these needs is the silicon hetero-junction solar cell, of which the emitter and back surface field are basically produced by a low temperature growth of ultra-thin layers of amorphous silicon. In this design, amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) constitutes both „emitter“ and „base-contact/back surface field“ on both sides of a thin crystalline silicon wafer-base (c-Si) where the electrons and holes are photogenerated; at the same time, a-Si:H passivates the c-Si surface. Recently, cell efficiencies above 23% have been demonstrated for such solar cells. In this book, the editors present an overview of the state-of-the-art in physics and technology of amorphous-crystalline heterostructure silicon solar cells. The heterojunction concept is introduced, processes and resulting properties of the materials used in the cell and their heterointerfaces are discussed and characterization techniques and simulation tools are presented.

New Perspectives on Surface Passivation: Understanding the Si-Al2O3 Interface
Author: Lachlan E. Black
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319325213
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
The book addresses the problem of passivation at the surface of crystalline silicon solar cells. More specifically, it reports on a high-throughput, industrially compatible deposition method for Al2O3, enabling its application to commercial solar cells. One of the main focus is on the analysis of the physics of Al2O3 as a passivating dielectric for silicon surfaces. This is accomplished through a comprehensive study, which moves from the particular, the case of aluminium oxide on silicon, to the general, the physics of surface recombination, and is able to connect theory with practice, highlighting relevant commercial applications.

Chemical Vapor Deposition for Nanotechnology
Author: Pietro Mandracci
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 1789849608
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques have played a major role in the development of modern technology, and the rise of nanotechnology has further increased their importance, thanks to techniques such as atomic layer deposition (ALD) and vapor liquid solid growth, which are able to control the growth process at the nanoscale. This book aims to contribute to the knowledge of recent developments in CVD technology and its applications. To this aim, important process innovations, such as spatial ALD, direct liquid injection CVD, and electron cyclotron resonance CVD, are presented. Moreover, some of the most recent applications of CVD techniques for the growth of nanomaterials, including graphene, nanofibers, and diamond-like carbon, are described in the book.

Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
ISBN: 1788010671
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
With the increase in volume, velocity and variety of information, researchers can find it difficult to keep up to date with the literature in their field. Providing an invaluable resource, this volume contains analysed, evaluated and distilled information on the latest in organometallic chemistry research and emerging fields. The reviews range in scope and include π-coordinated arene metal complexes and catalysis by arene exchange, rylenes as chromophores in catalysts for CO2 photoreduction, metal nodes and metal sites in metal–organic frameworks, developments in molecular precursors for CVD and ALD, and multiphoton luminescence processes in f-element containing compounds.
