An integrated tandem solar cell includes a first solar cell including a rear electrode, a light absorption layer disposed on the rear electrode, and a buffer layer disposed on the light absorption layer; a recombination layer including a first transparent conductive layer disposed on the buffer layer; a nanoparticle layer that is transparent and conductive, that is disposed on the first transparent conductive layer, and that planarizes the first solar cell; and a second transparent conductive layer disposed on the nanoparticle layer; and a second solar cell that is a perovskite solar cell including a perovskite layer and that is disposed on and bonded to the second transparent conductive layer of the recombination layer. The recombination layer electrically joins the first and second solar cells and planarizes the first solar cell so that the second solar cell is uniformly deposited in all regions thereof.

Integrated tandem solar cell and manufacturing method thereof

An embodiment includes a method of texturing a semiconductor substrate, a semiconductor substrate manufactured using the method, and a solar cell including the semiconductor substrate, the method including: forming metal nanoparticles on a semiconductor substrate, primarily etching the semiconductor substrate, removing the metal nanoparticles, and secondarily etching the primarily etched semiconductor substrate to form nanostructures.

A monolithic solar cell includes a first solar cell that is a sequential stack of an electrode, a silicon substrate, and an n-type emitter layer; a recombination layer disposed on the n-type emitter layer; an interfacial layer that is a double layer constituted of PEDOT:PSS and poly-TPD or PEDOT:PSS and PCDTBT, and that is disposed on the recombination layer; and a second solar cell that includes a p-type hole selective layer and a perovskite layer disposed on the p-type hole selective layer, the a p-type hole selective layer contacting and being integrated onto the interfacial layer of the first solar cell in a heat treatment during which the interfacial layer is partially decomposed, wherein the presence of the interfacial layer prevents a reduction in photoelectric conversion efficiency that occurs if the first solar cell and the second solar cell are combined without the presence of the interfacial layer.

A colored structure representing a back side-reflection color with metallic luster and high chroma when observed in a substrate incident mode greatly enhances light absorbance at a specific wavelength using a resonance structure in which a light absorbing material is inserted between a transparent substrate and an upper mirror layer. The colored structure controls metallic luster and texture of a high-chroma color from gloss-semi-gloss-matte texture in various aesthetic ways including introducing a haze surface structure in which light scattering occurs on at least one surface of the transparent substrate.

Colored structure resulting from color coating technology applied to a base material

A method for preparing a film of a CIS semiconductor compound overcoated by a color layer includes preparing an electrolyte solution by mixing precursors of film constituents including Cu, In, and Se with a solvent; configuring an electrodeposition circuit by connecting an electrochemical cell comprising the electrolyte solution, a working electrode, and a counter electrode to a voltage or current supply device; disposing a photomask having the predetermined pattern on the working electrode; producing the film through the photomask on a surface of the working electrode by applying a reduction voltage or current; disposing a light source to emit light toward the photomask; and photoelectrically depositing the film on the surface of the working electrode at least in the predetermined pattern while illuminating light through the photomask; and forming a color layer of CuSe at least in the predetermined pattern on the film employed as a working electrode using photo-electrodeposition.
