研究目的
To fabricate state-of-the art hybrid solar cells, based on compact thin films of Sb2S3 deposited by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) in air, by optimizing the thickness of the Sb2S3 layer, and to consider the influence of cell area, storage time and light intensity on PV performance to investigate their potential for application in semitransparent solar windows.
研究成果
Semitransparent and oxide-free thin films of crystalline Sb2S3 were successfully fabricated using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis, achieving a PCE of 5.5% and an AVT of 26%. The study demonstrates the feasibility of scaling up the fabrication process and the potential of Sb2S3 solar cells for applications in solar windows, with improved stability and performance under various light intensities.
研究不足
The study highlights the trade-off between high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and high average visible transparency (AVT) in semitransparent solar cells. The durability of the solar cells is dependent on the stability of the organic hole transport material (P3HT), suggesting the need for encapsulation to prevent moisture and oxygen degradation.
