4 FAQs about [Applied materials photovoltaics]

Can organic materials be used for photovoltaic devices?

Nature Reviews Materials2023 Cite this article The narrow and intense absorption spectra of organic materials open up the opportunity to develop efficient organic photovoltaic devices that are qualitatively different from other, incumbent solar cell technologies.

Are polycrystalline thin-film copper indium gallium selenide based solar cells a good choice?

Polycrystalline thin-film copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) based solar cells are well-established and commercially available. The record efficiency of single-junction CIGS solar cells has reached 23.4%, which makes this class of solar cells very attractive for integration into perovskite containing tandem solar cells 26.

Are solar cells instantaneous photoelectric conversion devices?

However, conventional solar cells are instantaneous photoelectric conversion devices and the electrical output has to be consumed immediately or stored 139. To address the need of uninterrupted energy availability it is therefore important to develop integrated energy conversion-storage systems.
