The most rapidly expanding type of solar cells are the Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs), because of its high device performance, ease of synthesis, high open-circuit voltage, and affordability. Despite these advantages, the development of perovskite-based solar cells continues to be impeded by the issues with perovskite stability and the utilization of the hazardous heavy element lead (Pb). The study emphasizes on the bifacial structure that maintains the conventional absorber layer and electron transport layer (ETL) in the optimized PSC structure.

- The study focuses on creating a multistacked photonic cooler for hot and dry climates, utilizing a layered structure with TiO, NiO, and Ag for optimal infrared filtration and light transmittance.
- The fabrication process involved in situ deposition under vacuum, where the wettability of the TiO layer can be adjusted through oxygen flow, potentially enhancing its self-cleaning abilities.
- Various layer configurations were tested, and simulations suggest these coatings could efficiently improve silicon solar cells, highlighting their promise for commercial applications through their multifunctional traits.
Article Synopsis
- * Anti-soil coatings for solar panel glass can help reduce dust accumulation, but their effectiveness varies by climate and location, making testing essential before widespread use.
- * This review examines different anti-dust technologies, highlighting that while mechanical cleaning is common, thin film coatings might offer better long-term benefits like cost efficiency and durability, especially in desert areas.
We report on the optical and morphological properties of silica thin layers deposited by reactive RF magnetron sputtering of a SiO target under different oxygen to total flow ratios [(O) = O/Ar, ranging from 0 to 25%]. The refractive index (), extinction coefficient, total transmission, and total reflectance were systematically investigated, while field-emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and three-dimensional (3D) average roughness data construction measurements were carried out to probe the surface morphology. Contact angle measurements were performed to assess the hydrophilicity of our coatings as a function of the oxygen content.
