High power conversion efficiency (PCE) inverted organic photovoltaics (OPVs) usually use thermally evaporated MoO3 as a hole transporting layer (HTL). Despite the high PCE values reported, stability investigations are still limited and the…

We have demonstrated a high-performance low temperature solution processed electron selective contact consisting of 10 at% antimony doped tin oxide (ATO) and the neutral polymer polyethylenimine (PEI). Inverted organic photovoltaics (OPVs)…

Polymer based organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology offers a relatively inexpensive option for solar energy conversion provided its efficiency increases beyond the current level (6-7%) along with significant improvements in operational…

We demonstrate that blending fluorinated molecules in PEDOT:PSS hole transport layers (HTL) induces charge transfers which impact on both charge extraction and photogeneration within organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. OPVs fabricated with…

Irreproducibility is a serious issue in thin film organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, as smallest local inhomogeneities can change the entire behaviour of identically built devices without showing obvious failure. Inhomogeneities can occur…

The use of eco-friendly materials for the environment has been addressed as a critical issue in the development of systems for renewable energy applications. In this regard, the investigation of organic photovoltaic (OPV) molecules for the…

After the efficiency of organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells achieved more than 10%, the control of stability and degradation mechanisms of solar cells became a prominent task. The improvement of device efficiency due to incorporation of a…

Though the common metal electrode-based perovskite solar cells have achieved a power conversion efficiency of >25%, they also play a crucial role in accelerating the degradation of the cells. In this study, we investigated phase transition…

We demonstrate an ionically gated planar PS-PV solar cell with ultra-thick fullerene ETL with a porous CNT electron collector on top of it. Perovskite photovoltaic devices usually have undoped electron transport layers, usually thin like…

Hot-carrier solar cells are envisioned to utilize energy filtering to extract power from photogenerated electron-hole pairs before they thermalize with the lattice, and thus potentially offer higher power conversion efficiency compared to…

In photovoltaic diodes recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes is a major loss process. Biological light harvesting complexes (LHCs) prevent recombination via the use of cascade structures, which lead to spatial separation of…

We demonstrate a novel type of solar cell, one that uses fixed negative charges, formed at the interface of n-Si with Al2O3, to generate strong inversion at the Si surface by electrostatic repulsion. Built-in voltages of up to 755 mV are…

Photon impingement is capable of liberating electrons in semiconductors. When the electron transport is primarily governed by temperature gradients, high irreversibilities will result, thus lowering converters' efficiencies. A fundamental…

The internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of an organic photovoltaic device (OPV) is proportional to the number of free charge carriers generated and their conductivity, per absorbed photon. However, both the IQE and the quantities that…

Organic molecular hole-transport materials (HTMs) are appealing for the scalable manufacture of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) because they are easier to reproducibly prepare in high purity than polymeric and inorganic HTMs. There is also a…

Historically, the design of hybrid solar photovoltaic thermal (PVT) systems has focused on cooling crystalline silicon (c-Si)-based photovoltaic (PV) devices to avoid temperature-related losses. This approach neglects the associated…

An approach is presented to modify the WF of solution-processed sol-gel derived ZnOover an exceptionally wide range of more than 2.3 eV. This approach relies on the formation of dense and homogeneous self-assembled monolayers based on…

SCAPS 1-D was used for the simulation of lead-free environmentally benign methylammonium tin-iodide (CH3NH3SnI3) based solar cell. Indium sulphide (In2S3) was utilized as the electron transport layer (ETL) for its high carrier mobility and…

Interfaces between the perovskite active layer and the charge-transport layers (CTLs) play a critical role in both efficiency and stability of halide-perovskite photovoltaics. One of the major concerns is that surface defects of perovskite…

Regio-regular poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (rr-P3HT), the work-horse of organic photovoltaics, has been recently exploited in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) configuration with phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) for solution-processed…
