  1. Electron-reflector strategy for CdTe thin-film solar cells

    Hsiao, Kuo-Jui, author, Sites, James R., advisor, Sampath, W. S. (Walajabad S.), committee member, Gelfand, Martin Paul, committee member, Leisure, Robert Glenn, 1938-, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2010

    The CdTe thin-film solar cell has a large absorption coefficient and high theoretical efficiency. Moreover, large-area photovoltaic panels can be economically fabricated. These features potentially make the CdTe thin-film solar cell the leading alternative energy source. However, the record CdTe …

  2. Solution-processed doping in CdTe thin film solar cells

    Montgomery, AngeqliqueUniversity of Alabama Libraries2019

    Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) is one of the leading photovoltaic (PV) technologies in the world with a world record ~ 22.1%. With a bandgap of 1.45eV and a high absorption coefficient, the theoretical power conversion efficiency limit of 32% is limited by recombination and high resistivities in CdTe …

  3. Characterization of tellurium back contact layer for CdTe thin film devices

    Moffett, Christina, author, Sampath, W. S., advisor, Sites, James, committee member, Popat, Ketul, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2018

    Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin film photovoltaic technology has shown favorable progress due to inexpensive and efficient processing techniques. However, efficiencies have yet to reach the overall projected CdTe device efficiency, with the back contact being a main source of CdTe performance …

  4. Metal oxides as buffer layers in polycrystalline CdTe thin-film solar cells

    Pandey, Ramesh, author, Sites, James, advisor, Sampath, W. S., committee member, Ross, Kate, committee member, Harton, John, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2021

    … coefficient the order of 105 cm-1 makes CdTea very attractive absorber for thin-film solar cells. This dissertation explores methods to improve both the front, or emitter, part of the cell and the back contact to the CdTe-based thin-film solar cells. The choice of an n-type emitter …

  6. Processing of CdS/CdTe solar cell and the growth model of CdTe thin film

    Liu, Guogen

    Cadmium telluride is the only thin film photovoltaic (PV) technology to surpass crystalline silicon PV in the cost. The most common CdTe solar cells consist of a simple p-n heterojunction structure containing a p-doped CdTe layer and n-doped cadmium sulfide (CdS) layer, which acts as a window …

  7. Laser Surface Texturing, Crystallization and Scribing of Thin Films in Solar Cell Applications

    Wang, Hongliang2013

    Thin films have been considered for use in terrestrial solar cell applications because of their significantly reduced cost compared with bulk crystalline silicon. However, their overall efficiency and stability are less than that of their bulk crystalline counterpart. The work presented in this …

  8. DFT calculations for cadmium telluride (CdTe)

    Pochareddy, Sai Avinash, author, Walajabad, Sampath, advisor, Weinberger, Chris, advisor, Sites, James, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2019

    Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin film photovoltaics (PV) has demonstrated low Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). CdTe technology also counted for half the thin film market in 2013 [3]. CdTe PV has the smallest carbon footprint a nd the energy payback time (less than one year) is the shortest of any …
