Microdroplet Electrospray Localized Laser Printing and Sintering of Nanoparticles for Passivating, Carrier-Selective Contacts (Final Technical Report)
- Univ. of Central Florida, Orlando, FL (United States); University of Central Florida
In this project, the team used a nanoparticle electrospray laser deposition (NELD) process developed at the University of Central Florida (UCF) to address current limitations of passivating, carrier-selective contact technologies for crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) cells. The NELD process was used to print low bulk line resistivity Ag contacts directly onto transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), like indium tin oxide (ITO), for hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) based c-Si heterojunction (SHJ) cells without any subsequent contact firing step needed.
