Viktiga resultat som projektet gav
LASERGRAPH aims to boost the efficiency and stability of CIGS/Perovskite PV devices by incorporating graphene-related material (GRM) interlayers. Novel laser-based techniques are employed for post-fabrication processing of GRM, followed by advanced characterization and simulation methods for integration into tandem solar cells.
Långsiktiga effekter som förväntas
Laser-reduced graphene oxide (GO) was prepared, followed by advanced characterization of composition and energy levels, simulation of its properties, and integration into tandem solar cells. The project has led to optimised GO deposition, improved optical and electrical properties of laser-reduced rGO films, improved energy level alignment at the perovskite/hole transport layer interfaces, and incorporation of rGO layers in CIGS/Perovskite solar cells. However, while the Voc and FF of the cells were enhanced the current and overall efficiencies were low.
Upplägg och genomförande
The project team is composed of five partners: the Foundation of Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH) in Greece, Hasselt University (HASS) and the Interuniversity Micro-Electronics Centre (IMEC) in Belgium, Karlstad University (KAU) in Sweden, and the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. The role of KAU in the project is the characterization of the composition and energy levels of materials and at interfaces, using photoemission and absorption spectroscopy (UPS, XPS and XAS) and scanning probe microscopies and other related techniques.
