Cheap sensor made of multicrystalline silicon for insolation and temperature measurements
2016
In the paper some results on measurement of insolation and „real” cell’s temperature carried out with use of standard silicon solar cells are presented. Two identical cells are applied in such a sensor. Short circuit current of one cell is a direct indication of insolation value and open circuit voltage of the other cell is indirect indication of actual sensor’s temperature but in this case more complex formula must be used for temperature calculation.
Characterization of Ruthenium-based Dye-Sensitized solar cells
2015
In this paper, we measure the main photoelectrical parameters of Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) based on ruthenium complexes at different irradiance levels, incident wavelengths, temperatures and hours of light soaking.
Influence of Nitrogen Doping on Device Operation for TiO₂-Based Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: Photo-Physics from Materials to Devices.
2015
Solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSSC) constitute a major approach to photovoltaic energy conversion with efficiencies over 8% reported thanks to the rational design of efficient porous metal oxide electrodes, organic chromophores, and hole transporters. Among the various strategies used to push the performance ahead, doping of the nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2) electrode is regularly proposed to extend the photo-activity of the materials into the visible range. However, although various beneficial effects for device performance have been observed in the literature, they remain strongly dependent on the method used for the production of the metal oxide, and the influence o…
Postępy w fotowoltanice w Polsce i na świecie = Progress in photovoltaics in Poland and the world
2015
W artykule przedstawiono postęp w zakresie uzyskiwanych sprawności przez ogniwa i moduły fotowoltaiczne (PV) wykonane z różnych materiałów i za pomocą różnych technologii. Zawarto w nim szczegółowe zestawienia tabelaryczne sprawności oraz ich parametrów technicznych. Zwrócono uwagę na nowe obiecujące technologie, które jeszcze nie mają rekordowych sprawności, ale z uwagi na proces ich wytwarzania rokują nadzieje na uzyskanie bardzo dużych sprawności albo tanich wielkopowierzchniowych modułów do komercyjnego zastosowania. Ponadto, omówiono ekonomiczne skutki wdrożenia nowo zawartych zapisów w uchwalonej w lutym 2015 r. Ustawie o Odnawialnych Źródłach Energii (OZE) dla rozwoju rozproszonych i…
Simulation studies of electronic transport in a-Si:H thin film solar cells
2009
The thin film solar cells in Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon (a-Si:H) are attractive for cheaper production and used in ultra low cost, high volume applications but have a relatively lower electronic performance. These limitations are mainly due to properties of the a-Si:H and relies on the production technique. In this study we investigate the physical mechanisms which are on the basis of the electronic transport and their relation with the technological processes. The transport-simulation computer program ATLAS (Silvaco) has been used to examine the role of the mid gap defect density in determining the performance of a-Si:H p-i-n homojunction solar cell.

Vertically Aligned Nanowires and Quantum Dots: Promises and Results in Light Energy Harvesting
2023
The synthesis of crystals with a high surface-to-volume ratio is essential for innovative, high-performance electronic devices and sensors. The easiest way to achieve this in integrated devices with electronic circuits is through the synthesis of high-aspect-ratio nanowires aligned vertically to the substrate surface. Such surface structuring is widely employed for the fabrication of photoanodes for solar cells, either combined with semiconducting quantum dots or metal halide perovskites. In this review, we focus on wet chemistry recipes for the growth of vertically aligned nanowires and technologies for their surface functionalization with quantum dots, highlighting the procedures that yie…
