A group of researchers led by the Autonomous University of Querétaro in Mexico have proposed for the first time to fabricate thin-film solar cells relying on an absorber made of silver, barium, ...
Researchers have significantly improved the performance of kesterite (CZTSSe) thin-film solar cells. They developed a new method for doping silver (Ag) in solar cells to suppress defects that hinder ...
A group of researchers at the Odtu-Gunam research institute in Turkiye claims to have fabricated a TOPCon solar cell with a nickel (Ni) contact and significantly lower silver (Ag) content, with the ...
The solar industry is turning to base metals and innovation to bypass the soaring silver price. Silver’s exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity make it a critical material in the production ...
