The interplay among hybrid self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) during deposition has not been well studied. Here, authors mix co-adsorbents with carbazole-based SAM material to improve the buried ...

Researchers have discovered a way to make nontoxic next-generation solar panels more efficient. Kesterite is a promising addition to the solar tech landscape. It's a combination of copper, zinc, tin, ...

The kesterite cell has a symmetrical configuration, with the same structure and morphology on either side. Both front and back cell stacks are deposited on molybdenum (Mo) foil.

Kesterite is one of the most promising light absorber material candidates for potential use in lower-cost thin-film solar cells. Kesterites are comprised of common elements, such as copper, tin ...
