Fabrication and investigation of extremely thin CdTe absorber layer solar cells
Hosseini, Arezoo; Erçelebi, Ayşe Çiğdem; Turan, Raşit; Department of Physics (2016)
Extremely thin absorber layer (ETA) solar cells aim to combine the advantages of using very thin and cheaply produced absorber layer on nano structured substrates with stability of all-solid-state solar cells. This type of photovoltaic devices use a nano structured interpenetrating heterojunction of thin light-absorbing layer at the interface between an n- and p-type semiconductors. N-type nano structured TiO2 layer is deposited on a Transparent Conducting Oxide coated glass (TCO) substrate, following with ...

Nanotechnology has started a new era where the nano-sized particles are manipulated. These nano-sized particles have lots of applications in a number of fields. Although carbon is one of the most abundant elements of the Earth or human body, in recent years it get an incredible perspective because of its nano-sized constructions like fullerene, graphene, graphite and carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are flawless cylinders consists of carbon where their radius are a few nanometers while their lengths are a...
Fabrication and characterization of single crystalline silicon solar cells
Es, Fırat; Turan, Raşit; Department of Physics (2010)
The electricity generation using photovoltaic (PV) solar cells is the most viable and promising alternative to the fossil-fuel based technologies which are threatening world’s climate. PV cells directly convert solar energy into electrical power through an absorption process that takes place in a solid state device which is commonly fabricated using semiconductors. These devices can be employed for many years with almost no degradation and maintenance. PV technologies have been diversified in different dire...

In this study, copper oxide (CuO) thin film/silicon (Si) nanowire heterojunctions have been fabricated and their optoelectronic performances have been investigated. Vertically aligned n-type Si nanowires have been fabricated using metal-assisted etching (MAE) technique. CuO thin films were synthesized by the sol-gel method and deposited onto the nanowires through spin-coating. Fabricated nanowire heterojunction devices exhibited excellent diode behaviour compared to the planar heterojunction control device....
Fabrication and characterization of PEDOT:PSS hole transport layers for silicon solar cells
Türkay, Deniz; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2019)
Heterojunction silicon solar cells have gained considerable interest in recent years with the demonstration of record-high device performances. However, these devices are typically based on inorganic layers fabricated at high temperatures under vacuum environment, using toxic precursors. The low temperature budget, non-toxic chemical contents, and wide range of adjustability in physical and electrical properties make poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) a promising candidate a...
