Transparent MoS <sub/>2</sub> /PEDOT Composite Counter Electrodes for Bifacial Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
摘要： Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are solar energy conversion devices with high efficiency and simple fabrication procedures. Developing transparent counter electrode (CE) materials for bifacial DSSCs can address the needs of window-transparent-type building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs). Herein, transparent organic?inorganic hybrid composite films of molybdenum disulfide and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (MoS2/PEDOT) are prepared to take full advantage of the conductivity and electrocatalytic ability of the two components. MoS2 is synthesized by hydrothermal method and spin-coated to form the MoS2 layer, and then PEDOT films are electrochemically polymerized on top of the MoS2 film to form the composite CEs. The DSSC with the optimized MoS2/PEDOT composite CE shows power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 7% under front illumination and 4.82% under back illumination. Compared with the DSSC made by the PEDOT CE and the Pt CE, the DSSC fabricated by the MoS2/PEDOT composite CE improves the PCE by 10.6% and 6.4% for front illumination, respectively. It proves that the transparent MoS2/PEDOT CE owes superior conductivity and catalytic properties, and it is an excellent candidate for bifacial DSSC in the application of BIPVs.

High-efficiency Bifacial Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells for application under Indoor Light Conditions
摘要： High-efficiency, stable bifacial dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are prepared for application under indoor light conditions. A 3-methoxypropionitrile solvent and cobalt redox couples are utilized to prepare the electrolytes. To obtain the best cell performance, the components of the DSSCs, including electrolytes, photoanodes, and counter electrodes (CEs), are regulated. The experimental results indicate that an electrolyte comprising a Co (II/III) ratio of 0.11/0.025 M, 1.2 M 4-tert-butylpyridine, Y123 dye, a CE with the platinum (Pt) layer thickness of 0.16 nm, a photoanode with titanium dioxide (TiO2) layer thickness of 10 μm (6 μm main layer and 4 μm scattering layer) are the best conditions under which to achieve a high power conversion efficiency. It is also found that the best cells have high recombination resistance at the photoelectrode/electrolyte interface and low charge transfer resistance at the counter electrode/electrolyte interface, which contributes, respectively, the high current density and open-circuit voltage of the corresponding cells. This DSSC can achieve efficiencies of 22.66%, 23.48%, and 24.52%, respectively, under T5 light illumination of 201.8, 607.8 and 999.6 lux. For fabrication of bifacial DSSCs with semi-transparent property, photoanodes without TiO2 scattering layer, as well as an ultra-thin Pt film are utilized. The thicknesses of the TiO2 main layer and Pt film are re-regulated. It shows that a Pt film with 0.55 nm thickness has both high transmittance (76.01%) and catalytic activity. By using an 8 μm TiO2 main layer, optimal cell efficiencies of 20.65% and 17.31% can be achieved, respectively, for the front-side and back-side illuminations of 200 lux T5 light. The cells are highly stable during a long-term performance test at both 35 oC and 50 oC.

摘要： We report the properties of earth-abundant p-type transparent BaCu4S3 (BCS) thin films deposited by solution-based method. Our films of 100 nm thickness show transparency > 70% over the visible and near-infrared regions. We study the bifacial photovoltaic performance of CdTe solar cells using BCS as a hole transport layer. The BCS deposition etches the CdTe to leave a Te rich surface which can help to reduce the barrier height. Our best device, completed with ITO on the BCS, when illuminated from the glass side illumination (? = 12.3 %) shows improved performance relative to our standard Cu/Au back contact, with increased Voc and FF. For film side illumination, Jsc is low and (? reaches just 1%). Once optimized, this earth-abundant transparent BCS could serve as an effective, inexpensive, low-toxicity back contact layer for bifacial CdTe solar cell.

摘要： We present a method to calculate the yearly energy production of multijunctions including spectral variations. We use it to find the optimal band gaps yielding maximum energy production. The band gaps found are different to those previously reported when using the standard efficiency as the optimization target. Our calculations predict that novel hybrid tandems in combination with bifacial silicon can lead to energy yields near 1 MWh m?2 year?1 at most locations of interest. We also discuss the effects of changing parameters such as the external radiative efficiency, series resistance, sub-cell thickness, temperatures, and location.

Bifacial IFO/(n+pp+)Cz-Si/ITO solar cells with full-area Al-alloyed BSF and Ag-free multi-wire metallization suitable for low-concentration systems
摘要： Bifacial solar cells have received considerable attention due to the potential to achieve higher energy yield compared to monofacial cells. However, in bifacial cells, p+-Si layers are usually produced by boron diffusion, which makes such cells more expensive compared to monofacial cells with a full-area screen-printed Al-alloyed Al-p+ back-surface-field (BSF). Recently, we have demonstrated proof-of-concept that bifacial cells, which, in addition, are also suitable for application in low-concentration systems (3–6 suns), can be produced from commercially available, standard monofacial SiNx/(n+pp+)Cz-Si/Al structures with full-area Al-p+-BSF. For this purpose, the residual Al paste was removed and a number of solar cells were prepared differing in the sheet resistance of the Al-p+-BSF (Rp+), which was varied from 14 Ω/sq to 123 Ω/sq by thinning the Al-p+ layer using one-sided etch-back process. Thinning of the Al-p+-BSF significantly improved the efficiency under 1-sun front/rear-side illumination: from 16.0%/7.5% (at Rp+ = 14 Ω/sq) to 17.5%/11.2% (at Rp+ = 81 Ω/sq). The equivalent efficiency at 1-sun front illumination and 20/50% albedo of 1-sun illumination increased from 17.7%/20.1% (at Rp+ = 14 Ω/sq) to 19.9%/23.5% (at Rp+ = 81 Ω/sq). In this paper, we present the results of systematic study of the developed bifacial cells. Thinning-induced changes in the properties of the cells are analyzed in detail. The critical aspects which might explain the performance of the developed cells are addressed. In addition, bifacial cells are compared with standard monofacial cells fabricated using the precursor of the same batch.

Tellurium-Doped, Mesoporous Carbon Nanomaterials as Transparent Metal-Free Counter Electrodes for High-Performance Bifacial Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
摘要： Tellurium-doped, mesoporous carbon nanomaterials with a relatively high doping level were prepared by a simple stabilization and carbonization method in the presence of a tellurium metalloid. A transparent counter electrode (CE) was prepared using tellurium-doped, mesoporous carbon (TeMC) materials, and was directly applied to bifacial, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). To improve the performance of the bifacial DSSC device, CEs should have outstanding electrocatalytic activity, electrical conductivity, and electrochemical stability, as well as high transparency. In this study, to make transparent electrodes with outstanding electrocatalytic activity and electrical conductivity, various TeMC materials with di?erent carbonization temperatures were prepared by simple pyrolysis of the polyacrylonitrile-block-poly (n-butyl acrylate) (PAN-b-PBA) block copolymer in the presence of the tellurium metalloid. The electrocatalytic activity of the prepared TeMC materials were evaluated through a dummy cell test, and the material with the best catalytic ability was selected and optimized for application in bifacial DSSC devices by controlling the ?lm thickness of the CE. As a result, the bifacial DSSC devices with the TeMC CE exhibited high power conversion e?ciencies (PCE), i.e., 9.43% and 8.06% under front and rear side irradiation, respectively, which are the highest values reported for bifacial DSSCs to date. Based on these results, newly-developed transparent, carbon-based electrodes may lead to more stable and e?ective bifacial DSSC development without sacri?cing the photovoltaic performance of the DSSC device.

High‐precision alignment procedures for patterning processes in solar cell production
摘要： We present two approaches for high-accuracy aligning of patterning processes with each other when fabricating solar cells. We introduce the approaches on the example of two different patterning processes of which one is adjustable (laser process) and one is not adjustable (screen-printing process). The basic idea is to measure the coordinates of the applied structures of each involved patterning process at discrete grid points with respect to a reference coordinate system. We chose the grid points such that they completely define the final cell pattern. Then, we adjust the grid point coordinates of one of the patterning processes (the laser process) according to the pattern of the other process (the screen-printing process). The laser then performs the patterning by connecting the corrected grid points with each other in the desired direction. We perform the associated high-precision measurement of the patterns' coordinates by using either a high-precision offline coordinate measuring machine or a high-resolution inline camera system with subsequent computer-based data processing. The latter inline method enables high throughput and is, in turn, of great interest for mass production of solar cells. In this paper, we demonstrate the alignment procedure approaches on “pPassDop” solar cells by adjusting a locally applied laser process to the directly following screen-printing step. This proof of principle includes both above-mentioned methods for coordinate determination in separate cell batches. Our innovative alignment procedures so far demonstrated the successful matching of 40-μm-wide screen-printed contact fingers to 70-μm-wide laser-processed lines over the entire area of 6-inch solar cells.

Fully Solution Processed, Stable, and Flexible Bifacial Polymer Solar Cells
摘要： Photon capturing is an essential step for the operation of a solar cell. In this article, we develop a bifacial solar cell with characteristics of double-side photon collection, transparent appearance, mechanical ?exibility, and facile processing. The whole device was fully fabricated by a spin-coating technique. A power conversion ef?ciency (PCE) as high as 2.46% has been achieved using the most prominent photoactive material, poly(3-hexylthiophene):(6, 6)-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM). The bifacial solar cell can retain 92% of its original PCE after 350 cyclic bending cycles at bending radii of 7.4 mm. In addition to the mechanical instability of the device, photochemical degradation is partially involved in the device operation. We believe that our device with its promising mechanical, physical, and processing features can serve as an essential power element to be integrated with other technologies for the next-generation self-powered technology.

摘要： This paper is based and written on performance analysis of a 10kW Grid connected solar power system with a comparison integration of bifacial photovoltaic systems vs mono-facial photovoltaic system. Thus, all these tastings were carried out on computer simulations using PVSyst6 software & MATLAB/Simulink. These simulations were done considering different albedos and tilt angles in order to identify power variations under different environmental conditions. The selected panels used mono-crystalline type-high efficiency cells, both in bifacial and mono-facial, and therefore, the technical parameters of both cell types will be the same in operating conditions. With the results obtained, it has shown the power gain in ground mounted-grid connected bifacial solar system is 23% more than mono-facial solar power system, and using these details, author proposed a table that represents, most suitable PV panels for different site conditions.
