Bulk Defects and Hydrogenation Kinetics in Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells With Fired Passivating Contacts

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Andrea Ingenito, Mario Joe Lehmann, Philippe Wyss, Audrey Marie Isabelle Morisset

In this article, the effect of the various processing steps during the fabrication of c-Si/SiOx/SiCx fired passivating contacts on the silicon bulk lifetime is studied, and the kinetics of defect deactivation by hydrogenation is investigated. It is found t ...

Lateral ion migration accelerates degradation in halide perovskite devices

Christophe Ballif, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Kerem Artuk, Christian Michael Wolff, Xin Yu Chin, Daniel Anthony Jacobs

The migration of mobile ions has long been considered a source of performance degradation in devices based on halide perovskites, but details regarding the mechanisms and extent of this problem remain scarce. Here we report the finding that differences in ...

Material Development for Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Photovoltaics

Peter Joseph Fiala

The developed world is built on the fact that energy is readily available and functionally infinite. The electricity from the wall, the gas at the station, and the heat in our homes are reliable and low-cost. But this comfort is so far only possible throug ...
