An international group of scientists has proposed a new copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) solar cell structure using antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) as the back surface field (BSF) layer.

The copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS)–based solar cell structure consists of an absorber layer of CIGS, a buffer layer of cadmium sulfide (CdS), and then a window layer of intrinsic zinc oxide ...

Scientists have developed a technique for producing AZO and i-ZnO/AZO bilayer structures ... the integrity of the solar cell layers. “In traditional high-efficiency CIGS thin-film solar cells ...

Perovskite‐based photovoltaic devices have undergone rapid progress in solar energy conversion performance, surpassing the top efficiency of compound semiconductor solar cells such as CdTe and CIGS ...

Until recently, chalcopyrite-based solar cells have achieved a maximum energy conversion efficiency of 23.35%, as reported in 2019 by Solar Frontier, a former Solar Energy company based in Japan.

“This category collects record tandem cells with layers composed of two different PV materials. Some subcategories of Hybrid Tandems (Perovskite/Si and Perovskite/CIGS) were already present in the ...

“The research continues with the aim of a two-terminal perovskite-CIGS cell which will render this particular solar cell highly competitive and suitable for mass production.” The manufacturer said the ...
