abstract: Efficiency of Silicon commercial solar cells covered with germanate glasses doped with Eu3+ ions, with and without gold nanoparticles, was measured. Enhancement of the efficiency was observed in the presence of gold nanoparticles when compared to germanate glasses without gold nanoparticle. The results were attributed to the plasmonic enhancement around Eu3+ ions due to the presence of gold nanoparticles and the energy transfer from excited nanoparticles to the Eu3+ ions.

abstract: Pb based hybrid perovskite solar cells, despite their advantages, face challenges in commercialization. In recent years, Bi based chalcohalides are being considered as potential alternative candidates, however, their current device efficiency remains unsatisfactory. Herein, a two step solution method is developed and applied to the fabrication of BiSI films. The method consists of the formation of Bi2S3 (step I) and its conversion to BiSI (step II) The Bi2S3 was fabricated by a thiol amine solution process and the BiSI conversion was achieved by chemical reaction between the as formed Bi2S3 and BiI3. It was found that the formation of BiSI was highly dependent on the Bi:S molar ratio of the Bi2O3 thiourea solution and the number of times of step I. The as fabricated BiSI film had an optical band gap of 1.61 eV and exhibited nanorod morphology. In addition, the electronic structure is explored and discussed for solar cells applications.

abstract: In this study, eco friendly Pb free Bi2O3 B2O3 ZnO glass frits were chosen as an inorganic additive for the Al paste used in Si solar cells. The effects of the molar ratio of Bi2O3 to B2O3 in the glass composition on the electrical resistance of the Al electrode and on the cell performance were investigated. The results showed that as the molar ratio of Bi2O3 to B2O3 increased, the glass transition temperature and softening temperature decreased because of the reduced glass viscosity. In Al screen printed Si solar cells, as the molar ratio of Bi2O3 to B2O3 increased, the sheet electrical resistance of the Al electrode decreased and the cell efficiency increased. The uniformity and thickness of the back surface field was significantly influenced by the glass composition.

abstract: The coupling of a solar cell with a super capacitor is gaining interest owing to its superior photo to electrical conversion efficiency and its in situ energy storage ability for green and sustainable energy development. In this work, the electrochemical performances of the fabricated super capacitor and perovskite solar cell were individually measured for the fabrication of a photo super capacitor. A Bi2O3/MnO2 based symmetrical and asymmetrical super capacitor were fabricated. The symmetrical super capacitor could charge up to 1.0 V, which gave a specific capacitance of 136.4 F/g at a scan rate of 2 mV/s. The power and energy densities of the bismuth based symmetrical super capacitor were 51.8 W/kg and 7.1 Wh/kg, respectively and were improved to 25.6 Wh/kg and 115.3 W/kg when a Bi2O3/MnO2 positive electrode was integrated to a polypyrrole/reduced graphene oxide (PyR) negative electrode. It thus proven the feasibility of an asymmetrical super capacitor to promote the performance of a super capacitor. The dissatisfying stability performance of the Bi2O3/MnO2//PyR asymmetrical super capacitor (60% capacitance retained) prompted for screening of other pseudocapacitive materials. An asymmetrical super capacitor comprising a positive cobalt oxide/zinc oxide/reduced graphene oxide electrode (RZCo) and a negative polypyrrole/reduced graphene oxide electrode was then fabricated. A wide operational potential range for the RZCo//PyR asymmetrical super capacitor resulted in a high specific capacitance of 470.8 F/g, as opposed to the Bi2O3/MnO2 symmetrical super capacitor of 136.4 F/g and 144.1 F/g for the bismuth based asymmetrical super capacitor, at a scan rate of 2mV/s, additionally exhibited 1.6 fold higher in energy and power densities, which fulfilling the criteria as the energy storage device for the photo super capacitor.Perovskite solar cells were fabricated from a series of cesium based halide mixtures perovskite harvesting materials, denoted as CsPbBr3 xIx, where x 0 0.3. An optimum iodide concentration of CsPbBr2.9I0.1 perovskite solar cell with an efficiency of 3.9% was fabricated. The solar cell achieved an open circuit voltage of more than 1.0 V and a fill factor of 64% by employing Spiro OMeTAD as a hole transporting material with enhanced stability. The performances of the CsPbBr2.9I0.1 solar cell with P3HT/MoO3 hole transporting material was also investigated. The deeper HOMO and shallower LUMO level of the hole and electron transporting materials, respectively has achieved high Voc of 1.23 V, but with lower power conversion efficiency of 2.51% due to reduction in the Jsc, implies an additional charge loss processes at the interface of perovskite/HTM. In high humidity of more than 80 percent, the perovskite solar cell comprising CsPbBr2.9I0.1 achieved an efficiency of 0.46% The perovskite solar cell retains 70% of its original efficiency after a week storage in dark and 33% efficiency retained under UV and air exposure at a high relative humidity of more than 80% for 24 hours. The integration of the perovskite solar cell and the asymmetrical super capacitor enabled simultaneous photoconversion and charge storage within the photo super capacitor. The photovoltage and photocurrent measurements were successfully performed, evidencing that the photo super capacitor was responsive to light illumination. Referred to the photovoltage measurement, zero voltage was presented at the first 50 s without the shine of light. Subsequently, the photovoltage was abruptly shooted up to ~80 mV and continue increasing to 90 mV for 100 s in the presence of light, and was then decreases drastically when light was switched off. To further proof the energy conversion and storage of the photo super capacitor, the photocharged integrated device was galvanostatically discharged in dark at the current of 0.1 mA. As the integrated device reaches the cut off potential of 0.07 V, the discharging process took place in dark with the connection of only super capacitor's electrodes, thus shows the workability of the photo super capacitor. To enable practical application, improvizations such as optimizing thickness of each active layer and encapsulation of the photo super capacitor are needed to prevent electrolyte loss.

abstract: Developing a lead free glass frit binder in aluminum electrode paste is one of important subjects for further development of Si solar cell. However, lead free aluminum electrode usually shows weaker mechanical and electric properties. The effects of B2O3content in Bi2O3 SiO2 B2O3 ZnO based glass frit on the mechanical and electric properties of solar cell were investigated. It is found that B2O3is the main factor causing the electrode instability and ashing.Reducing or removing the content of B2O3can improve the electrode stability and membrane strength but lead to higher contact resistance between Si and Al electrode and lower photovoltage of Si solar cell. A new Bi2O3 SiO2 Fe2O3 ZnO lead free glass system, in which B2O3was replaced by Fe2O3, was designed and prepared. Results show that the Al electrode using this new glass frit shows good water resistance, good electrical performance and surface and membrane strength.
