Ultrathin solar cells reach 20% efficiency with only 205 nm of GaAs
The SUNLIT team (C2N), in collaboration in particular with researchers at the German Fraunhofer ISE, has succeeded to trap sunlight efficiently in a solar cell thanks to an ultrathin absorbing layer made of 205 nm-thick GaAs on a nanostructured back … Continued
Advances in nanowires for PV
III-V nanowires (NWs) have recently emerged as a promising candidate for the direct growth of perfect III-V crystals on silicon, and open new perspectives for the conception and fabrication of tandem solar cells. The results published in several articles this … Continued
