Crystalline Silicon Solar Cell Efficiency Improvement with Caesium Bromide
Sector: Education • Location: Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Victoria, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
Source: pv magazine International
A collaborative research project involving six universities, including three in Australia, demonstrated that using caesium bromide (CsBr) as an interlayer in crystalline silicon solar cells significantly improves their efficiency. The project developed a laboratory-scale solar cell integrating the CsBr layer, achieving over 20% efficiency after annealing, by creating more effective passivating con

Description
Description | A collaborative research project involving six universities, including three in Australia, demonstrated that using caesium bromide (CsBr) as an interlayer in crystalline silicon solar cells significantly improves their efficiency. The project developed a laboratory-scale solar cell integrating the CsBr layer, achieving over 20% efficiency after annealing, by creating more effective passivating contacts and allowing greater light absorption. |
