Electronic devices cover a large subset of daily life gadgets which use power to run, hence increasing the load of the energy needs and indirectly impacting greenhouse gas emissions. Smart electrochromic windows provide a solution to this through remarkable energy saving by adjusting optical behavior depending on the environmental conditions. Since the electrochromic windows also need power to run, a self-powered electrochromic panel will be a better solution.

Optimizing group-V doping and Se alloying are two main focuses for advancing CdTe photovoltaic technology. We report on nanometer-scale characterizations of microelectronic structures of phosphorus (P)-doped CdSeTe devices using a combination of two atomic force microscopy-based techniques, namely, Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and scanning spreading resistance microscopy (SSRM). KPFM on device cross-section images distribution of the potential drop across the device.

Context: Exploration for renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources has become a major challenge to overcome the depletion of fossil fuels and their environmental hazards. Therefore, solar cell technology, as an alternative solution, has attracted the interest of many researchers. In the present work, the CsXInBr (X = Cu or Ag) compounds as lead-free halide perovskites have been studied due to their direct energy gap in the range of solar energy, thermodynamic stability, low effective mass of electrons, and high absorption coefficient.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) was employed to evaluate the environmental impacts of various lead (Pb) recycling processes in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The analysis identifies solvent recovery and reuse as critical factors in reducing environmental harm, highlighting the need for optimized recycling methods to enhance the sustainability of PSCs.

Interest in organic solar cells (OSCs) is constantly rising in the field of photovoltaic devices. The device performance relies on the bulk heterojunction (BHJ) nanomorphology, which develops during the drying process and additional post-treatment. This work investigates the effect of thermal annealing (TA) on the all-small molecule DRCN5T:PCBM blend with phase field simulations.
