Magnesium Doping Boosts Kesterite Solar Cell Efficiency

Magnesium Doping Boosts Kesterite Solar Cell Efficiency

In the relentless pursuit of sustainable and efficient photovoltaic technologies, researchers have long wrestled with the inherent limitations posed by atomic disorder in multi-element crystalline materials. Among these, copper zinc tin sulfide selenide (Cu₂ZnSn(S,Se)₄, or CZTSSe) has emerged as a promising candidate for next-generation thin-film solar cells due to its earth-abundant constituents and favorable optoelectronic properties. However,…

40% Solar cell efficiency target for PolyU researchers: Paving way for commercial use

PolyU researchers have detailing strategies to accelerate the commercialisation of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (TSCs). The goal is to boost efficiency from 34% towards an ambitious 40% milestone, supporting carbon neutrality and high-energy industries like AI A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is driving a major push toward commercialising a new generation of energy-efficient solar cells, with the ultimate …
