,Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells, |
Chunfu Zhang,Jincheng Zhang,Xiaohua Ma,Qian Feng |
|
Abstract
The distinctive nature exhibited by silicon makes it critical in the modern electronic information industry. The development of silicon is considered a milestone in materials and electronic information worldwide in the twentieth century, and it is silicon that underpins the booming of information in the twenty-first century.

|
Abstract
Several square meters of solar cells often need to generate hundreds of watts of electrical power because of the diffusivity of sunlight. Therefore, it is necessary to develop large-area thin-film solar cells to reduce costs.

,Cu(InGa)Se2 Solar Cell, |
Chunfu Zhang,Jincheng Zhang,Xiaohua Ma,Qian Feng |
|
Abstract
CuInSe. and CuInS., ternary compounds consisting of I B, III A, and VI A elements, are adopted as absorption layers of copper indium selenium (CIS) thin-film solar cells. Copper indium gallium selenium (CIGS) solar cells are developed when Ga is doped into the CIS thin-film solar cells to replace part of the elements of the cells. The crystal structures with similar component ratios (e.g., CuInSe. (ABC.) solar cells) exhibit high similarity to chalcopyrite structure. Chalcopyrite structure is largely identical to the diamond structure; it is an ordered structure with I and III elements replacing II elements.

,CdTe Solar Cells, |
Chunfu Zhang,Jincheng Zhang,Xiaohua Ma,Qian Feng |
|
Abstract
CdTe was fabricated in 1947 by Frerichs (Frerichs in Rev 72:594–601, 1947) based on the direct reaction Cd vapor and Te vapor in a hydrogen environment. The CdS/CdTe thin-film solar cell was initially trial-produced by Bonnet and Rabenhorst (Bonnet et al. in Conference record 9th IEEE photovoltaic specialist conference, 129–132, 1972). The n-CdS/p-CdTe thin-film heterojunction cells fabricated with the gas-carrying and vacuum evaporation methods exhibits photoelectric conversion efficiency of 5.4%. In 1956, Loferski of RCA Lab initially proposed the application of CdTe material in solar photovoltaic (Loferski in J Appl Phys 27:777–784, 1956).

Abstract
Solar energy is inexhaustible, clean and pollution-free, and it has become increasingly popular over the past few years. Solar cells represented by inorganic semiconductor materials (e.g., single crystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and III–V compounds) are highly efficient, whereas considerable energy is required, and serious pollution is caused in the manufacturing process. It is noteworthy that the dominant solar cells based on silicon have a relatively high cost, which has significantly impeded the development and popularity of solar cells.

,High-Efficiency Semiconductor Photovoltaic Devices, |
Chunfu Zhang,Jincheng Zhang,Xiaohua Ma,Qian Feng |
|
Abstract
Solar cells are devices capable of converting light energy into electrical energy. The incident photons (light energy) are absorbed by the solar cell to generate electrons and holes, which ultimately act as electrical energy in an external circuit to achieve energy conversion. Such a photoelectric conversion process can be measured by the amount of work of each incident photon in an external circuit, so it refers to a process of quantum energy conversion. Besides, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of a solar cell is a measure of the amount of work of total photons
