From pv magazine Global An international team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has applied a new ionic salt at the electron transport layer (ETL) interface in inverted perovskite solar cells to overcome weaknesses in commonly used optimized buckminsterfullerene (C60) ETLs. Inverted perovskite cells have a device structure known as “p-i-n”, in which hole-selective contact p is at the bottom of intrinsic perovskite layer i with electron...

A research group at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) has shown that in situ gettering during the application of asymmetric configuration of n-type and p-type tunnel oxide passivating contact (TOPCon) layers increases the material quality of n-type epitaxially grown silicon wafers. Gettering is a process widely used in the PV manufacturing industry during crystal growth to remove impurities and defects in wafers.
