Photovoltaic power generation is developing rapidly with the approval of The Paris Agreement in 2015. However, there are many dust deposition problems that occur in desert and plateau areas. Traditional cleaning methods such as manual cleaning and mechanical cleaning are unstable and produce a large economic burden. Therefore, self …
Thin film cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaics (PV) is the most successful second generation PV technology, with a current market share of ~5 % and deployment predominantly at utility scale. Improvements in the buffer layer of the device, switching from cadmium sulphide (CdS) to tin oxide (SnO2) or magnesium-doped zinc oxide (MZO), and …
Self-cleaning, transparency, anti-reflection, anti-icing, and durability should be considered when applying to photovoltaic modules. The durability of super-hydrophobic coatings is poor, so much research now focuses on improving its durability, such as using layer-by-layer (LBL) to increase the thickness of the film or adding some …

In this research work, a systematic design of a novel anti-reflective layer using embedded plasmonic nanoparticles is investigated for a thin-film GaAs solar cell. First, an anti-reflective layer that is made from ITO or SiO2 is assumed in which Al nanoparticles are embedded inside them to manipulate the absorption and hence the …
First, by suppressing the reflection at the interface of the solar cell, and the other way is to enhance the optical pathlength inside the cell for adequate absorption of the photons. Our
We report on the synthesis and characterization of an amorphous zirconium oxide (a-ZrOx) thin film as an anti-reflective coating (ARC) for a silicon solar cell. In this work, a low-temperature non-vacuum sol–gel spin-coating method was used to synthesize a-ZrOx at room temperature by dispersing zirconium(IV) acetylacetonate in …
