We investigate contacting of n- and p-type polysilicon (polySi) passivating contact layers with industrial screen-printed metal pastes, examining both fire through (FT) and non-fire through (NFT) pastes. The n- and p-type polySi layers, deposited by low pressure chemical vapour deposition and doped by POCl3 diffusion, phosphorus implant, or BBr3 diffusion, result in excellent J(o), even for 50 nm thickness (<2 fA/cm(2) for n-polySi, <10 fA/cm(2) for p-polySi). The contact recombination is investigated by photoluminescence, and by cell test structures to determine V-oc as a function of metallization fraction. The contact resistance is investigated by transfer length method (TLM). The contacts are also extensively studied by high resolution electron microscopy. All-polySi solar cells (i.e., cells with front and back carrier selective layers consisting of polySi) are prepared. Excellent implied V-oc, values of nearly 730 mV and 710 mV are obtained on the un-metallized polished and textured cells, respectively. The contact recombination after applying screen printed metallization can be analyzed well with both methods (PL and V-oc-based) rendering values for the prefactor of the recombination current J(o,c) at the contact areas of about 400 and 350 fA/cm(2) for 200 nm thick n-polySi and p-polySi, respectively.

Synthesis of new conjugated donor-acceptor type polymers for photovoltaic device applications Akpınar, Hava Zekiye; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Özkan, Necati; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2015) Electrochromism and photoelectric effect are the mostly investigated areas of conducting polymers. In electrochromism, electrochemical parameters of the polymers are firstly examined. Spectroelectrochemical studies are performed with specified wavelengths. Parameters, such as optical contrast and switching times of the polymer films are explored. In bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells, semiconducting polymer materials in combination with fullerene are used as the active layer. Photons are absorbed by co...
Synthesis, characterization and electrical properties of diazophenylene and diazodiphenylene bridged co, ni, cu, ce, and er phthalocyanine polymers Alkan, Cemil; Alkan, Cemil; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2004) In this research, diazophenylene and diazodiphenylene bridged metal-phthalocyanine polymers were produced from diazonium salt of diaminophenylene/bensidin and pre-synthesized tetraamino metal phthalocyanines. Tetraamino metal phthalocyanine complexes of Co, Ni, Cu, Ce, and Er were obtained by reducing tetranitro metal phthalocyanine complexes synthesized from 3-nitrophthalic anhydride, urea, metal salt, and ammonium molybdate catalyst. Complexes and polymers were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared ...
Preparation and characterization of nanocomposites with a thermoplastic matrix and spherical reinforcement Ersu, Dilek; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006) The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of compatibilizers, fumed silica and mixing order of components on morphological, thermal, mechanical and flow properties of LDPE/Fumed silica nanocomposites. As compatibilizer(Co); ethylene/n-butyl acrylate/maleic anhydride (E-nBA-MAH), ethylene/glycidyl methacrylate (E-GMA) and ethylene/methyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) Lotader® resins; as silica Cab-o-sil® M5 fumed silica were used. All samples were prepared by means of a lab scale co-rot...
Design and synthesis of novel donor-acceptor type monomers and ınvestigation of optoelectronic properties of their polymers Ünver, Elif Köse; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2010) A proven strategy, donor-acceptor approach, to reduce the band gap of conjugated materials and possibly improve the photocurrent is to incorporate electron-rich and electron-deficient units in an alternating fashion in a polymer chain. For this purpose, a wise selection of donor and acceptor moieties in a monomer structure results in desired finishing properties of polymeric materials. In this study, fourteen novel monomers were synthesized to explore the acceptor and donor effects on the electronic and opt...
Experimental comparison of different minichannel geometries for use in evaporators Ağartan, Yiğit Ata; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012) This thesis investigates the refrigerant (R-134a) flow in three minichannels having different geometries experimentally. During the last 40 years heat transfer in small scales has been a very attractive research area. Improvements in heat transfer in the refrigeration applications by means of usage of micro/minichannels provide significant developments in this area. Also it is known that experimental studies are very important to constitute a database which is beneficial for new developments and research. D...
