Low-Cost Light Trapping Layer via Melting Gel and Hot Embossing Technique

Creator:

Xu, Han

Abstract:

Light trapping plays a phenomenal role in enhancing light confinement and light absorption within the solar cells, thus increasing the optical efficiency of the cell. Different strategies are employed for trapping light photons within the cell. Methods used include a substrate or single layer texturing, light trapping coating, plasmonic gratings,...

Growth, Characterizations, and Applications of Patterned Nanostructured Thin Film

Creator:

Gao, Zhongwei

Abstract:

A unique microreactor-assisted nanomaterial synthesis and printing process was studied for the fabrication of patterned metal oxide nanostructured thin films. The process uses a continuous flow microreactor to control and generate a reactive chemical flux that was transported to a patterned microfluidic channel. The microreactor-assisted nanomaterial synthesis process can generate...

Cu-Ga-S/ZnS Quantum Dots with Silica Melting Gel as a Luminescent Downshifting Coating for Enhancing Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation

Creator:

Chen, Si-Hao

Abstract:

Solar cells, also known as photovoltaic devices, are a class of renewable energy systems that can convert photons into electrons without the carbon dioxide emission. Short-wavelength, high-energy photons in the ultraviolet (UV) range can't be efficiently utilized by most solar cells because of the spectral mismatch. Luminescent downshifting is a...
