Australian researchers have identified five contaminants that could increase damp heat-induced degradation in TOPCon and heterojunction cells and modules. Their analysis has shown these contaminants ...

In 1811 Gay-Lussac and Thenard probably obtained impure amorphous silicon by heating potassium with silicon tetrafluoride; however, the discovery of this element is usually credited to Berzelius ...

When lithium reacts with amorphous silicon, amorphous LixSi is formed. The voltage composition curve of Li/a-LixSi cells has been calculated using density functional theory (DFT) as implemented in ...

This program is aimed to pursuing novel growth and post-treatment technologies that make hydrogenated amorphous silicon be free from light-induced degradation. The scientific knowledge and ...

Scientists at Spain's Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya (IREC) have fabricated a transparent solar cell based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxide. They say it could be used for ...

The larger and more uniform grains of polysilicon (poly-Si) allow electrons to flow 100 times faster than they do through the random-sized grains of amorphous silicon (a-Si), enabling higher ...
