Electronic Characterisation of EarthAbundant Sulphides for Solar Photovoltaics

More about the book

The book delves into the electronic structure of environmentally friendly materials intended for photovoltaic absorber layers, highlighting the correlation between photoemission measurements and density of states calculations. It reveals why these materials often exhibit low device efficiencies, linking their electronic properties and band positions to their incompatibility with conventional solar cell technologies. Additionally, it proposes alternative window layer materials to enhance performance and emphasizes the significance of factors like oxidation and phase impurity in photoemission analysis, making it a vital resource for researchers in solar cell technology and materials science.
