A transparent conductive oxide (TCO) is a material that is optically transparent and electrically conductive. It is frequently utilized as a top electrode in thin-film solar cells, flat-panel displays ...

The record efficiency was achieved by engineering the cell with reduced copper(II) oxide (CuO) and copper (Cu) impurities in the thin-film deposition. It showed an open-circuit voltage of 1.13 V, a ...

A research group in Nigeria has proposed to build n-type heterojunction planar inverted perovskite solar cells without using transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) for the passivate contacts. The ...

What are Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs)? DSSCs are semi-transparent, flexible, and efficient thin film solar cells that enable a variety of applications not possible with rigid silicon-based ...

Researchers at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK, have made what they are calling “a ground-breaking discovery paving the way for a transformative era in photonic technology.” For decades, ...
