본 논문에서는 플렉시블 솔라셀의 수광면을 원통형으로 만들어 수평면상에서 균일한 수광패턴을 가지는 전방향 가시광 검출기를 개발하였다. 이 솔라셀 광검출기는 서로 다른 위치에서 입사하는 여러 개의 신호광을 동시에 검출하며, 수신부의 ASK복조기에 전력을 공급한다. 실험에서는 시분할 전송 방식을 사용하여 서로 다른 방향으로부터 입사하는 3개 신호광을 솔라셀 광검출기로 수신하였다. 각 신호광은 40 kHz의 캐리어를 사용하여 ASK 변조하였으며, 시분할 전송에 필요한 동기펄스는 실내의 조명램프에 포함된 120 Hz의 AC 신호를 Cds셀로 검출하여 같은 주기로 생성하였다. 이러한 수신구조는 가시광통신에서 $N{\times}1$ 광연결을 구성하는 데에 적합하다.

We fabricated thermal annealing-free polymer solar cells (PSC) by processing with additive and applied to flexible substrates. The 1, 8-Diiodooctane of 3 vol% blended with active solution resulted in enhancement of $J_{SC}$ due to increase of light absorption and hole mobility as improving the crystallinity of P3HT. In addition, the $V_{OC}$ of PSCs with additive was improved by inserting $TiO_2$ layer without any treatment. The $TiO_2$ layer prevented the direct contact between active layer and Al electrode and reduced the charge recombination near Active/Al interface. It was confirmed by calculation of J0 and photo-voltage transient measurement. The power conversion efficiencies of annealing-free PSCs using additive for ITO glass and flexible (ITO PEN) substrate were obtained 3.03% and 2.45%, respectively.

All-solid-state solar cell based on Chloride doped organometallic halide perovskite, (CH3NH3)PbIxCl3-x, has achieved a highly power conversion efficiency (PCE) to over 15% [1] and further improvements are expected up to 20% [2]. In this way, solar cells using novel light absorbing perovskite material are actively being studied as a next generation solar cells. However, making solution-process require high temperature up to $500^{\circ}C$ to form compact hole blocking layer and sinter the mesoporous oxide scaffold layer. Because of this high temperature process, fabrication of flexible solar cells on plastic substrate is still troubleshooting. In this study, we fabricated highly efficient flexible perovskite solar cells with PCE in excess of 11%. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is used to deposit dense $TiO_2$ as hole blocking layer on ITO/PEN substrate. The all fabrication process is done at low temperature below $150^{\circ}C$. This work shows that one of the important blueprint for commercial use of perovskite solar cells.

Due to its favorable optical properties, Cu₂SnS₃ (CTS) is a promising material for thin film solar cells. Doping, which modifies the absorber properties, is one way to improve the conversion efficiency of CTS solar cells. In this work, CTS solar cells with selenium doping were fabricated on a flexible substrate using sputtering method and the effect of doping on the properties of CTS solar cells was investigated. In XRD analysis, a shift in the CTS peaks can be observed due to the doped selenium. XRF analysis confirmed the different ratios of Cu/Sn and (S+Se)/(Cu+Sn) depending on the amount of selenium doping. Selenium doping can help to lower the chemical potential of sulfur. This effectively reduces the point defects of CTS thin films. Overall improved electrical properties were observed in the CTS solar cell with a small amount of selenium doping, and a notable conversion efficiency of 1.02 % was achieved in the CTS solar cell doped with 1 at% of selenium.

태양전지의 효율 증가를 위하여 유리비드가 함유된 polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA) 용액을 PMMA 필름 위에 코팅하여 유리비드가 코팅된 고분자 유연 패턴 필름을 제조하고 패턴 필름이 태양전지 효율에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 필름 위에 코팅된 유리비드로 인하여 빛의 입사각 0도에서 90도 범위에서 태양전지의 상대효율이 최대 3.4%까지 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 효율 증가는 빛의 입사각 변화에도 필름 표면에 형성되어 있는 구 형태의 유리비드로 인하여 빛이 수직으로 입사되어 방향성에 의한 태양전지 효율 감소가 최소화되기 때문이다. 태양전지상대효율 증가는 필름 표면 위의 유리비드가 반구의 형태를 가질 때 가장 높으며 유리비드 함량에 따라 증가되나 유리비드 함량이 너무 많은 경우, 오히려 광 투과도 감소 및 빛의 간섭 효과에 의하여 상대효율이 감소됨을 알 수 있었다.

Polythiophene-$TiO_2$ composite was synthesized with different molar ratios of thiophene and titaniumisopropoxide ($Ti(OPr)_4$) for flexible solar cell application as a flexible electrode or an active material. The $Ti(OPr)_4$ was stabilized by thiophene. The thiophene was polymerized by ferric chloride catalyst. The synthesized polythiophene exhibited strong UV-visible absorption in the range of the wavelength shorter than 500 nm. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) image of low concentration of $TiO_2$ film showed smooth surface. However, FESEM image of high concentration of $TiO_2$ film exhibited relatively rough surface. Polythiophene concentration dependent strong photoluminescence quenching of surfrhodamine-B was observed.

The depletion of fossil fuels and the increase in environmental awareness have led to greater interest in renewable energy. In particular, solar cells have attracted attention because they can convert an infinite amount of solar energy into electricity. Dye-sensitize solar cells (DSSCs) are low cost third generation solar cells that can be manufactured using environmentally friendly materials. However, DSSC photoelectrodes are generally produced by screen printing, which requires high temperature heat treatment, and low temperature processes that can be used to produce flexible DSSCs are limited. To overcome these temperature limitations, this study fabricated photoelectrodes using room-temperature aerosol deposition. The resulting DSSCs had an energy conversion efficiency of 4.07 %. This shows that it is possible to produce DSSCs and flexible devices using room-temperature processes.

III-V compound semiconductor based thin film solar cells promise relatively higher power conversion efficiencies and better device reliability. In general, the thin film III-V solar cells are fabricated by an epitaxial lift-off process, which requires an $Al_xGa_{1-x}As$ ($x{\geq}0.8$) sacrificial layer and an inverted solar cell structure. However, the device performance of the inversely grown solar cell could be degraded due to the different internal diffusion conditions. In this study, InGaP/GaAs double-junction solar cells are inversely grown by MOCVD on GaAs (100) substrates. The thickness of the GaAs base layer is reduced to minimize the thermal budget during the growth. A wide band gap p-AlGaAs/n-InGaP tunnel junction structure is employed to connect the two subcells with minimal electrical loss. The solar cell structures are transferred on to thin metal films formed by Au electroplating. An AlAs layer with a thickness of 20 nm is used as a sacrificial layer, which is removed by a HF:Acetone (1:1) solution during the epitaxial lift-off process. As a result, the flexible InGaP/GaAs solar cell was fabricated successfully with an efficiency of 27.79% under AM1.5G illumination. The efficiency was kept at almost the same value after bending tests of 1,000 cycles with a radius of curvature of 10 mm.

A self-powered electrochromic device was fabricated on an indium tin oxide-polyethylene naphthalate flexible substrate using a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) as a self-harvesting source; the electrochromic device was naturally bleached and operated under outdoor light conditions. The color of the organic electrochromic polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate, was shifted from pale blue to deep blue with an antimony tin oxide film as a charge-balanced material. Electrochromic performance was enhanced by secondary doping using dimethyl sulfoxide. As a result, the device showed stable switching behavior with a high transmittance change difference of 40% at its specific wavelength of 630 nm for 6 hrs. To improve the efficiency of the solar cell, 1.0 wt.% of Ag NWs in the photoanode was applied to the $TiO_2$ photoanode. It resulted in an efficiency of 3.3%, leading to an operating voltage of 0.7 V under xenon lamp conditions. As a result, we built a standalone self-harvesting electrochromic system with the performance of transmittance switching of 29% at 630 nm, by connecting with two solar cells in a device. Thus, a self-harvesting and flexible device was fabricated to operate automatically under the irradiated/dark conditions.

박막형 태양전지 분야는 저가이고 가볍다는 특징을 가지고 있으며, 휘어지는 기판재를 적용하여 플렉서블 태양전지를 제조할 수도 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서 플렉서블 태양전지에 적합한 금속기판재를 제조하는 연구를 수행하였다. 일반적으로 기판재와 cell을 구성하는 반도체 층의 열팽창 거동 차이에 의한 열변형이 태양전지의 공정안정성에 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있었으며, cell을 구성하는 반도체 층과 열팽창 거동이 유사한 금속기판재의 적용이 필요하다. 이러한 특성을 쉽게 제어할 수 있는 금속기판재를 얇게 제조하기에 적절한 방법은 전주법이다. 전주법을 적용하여 조성 및 두께가 다른Ni 계 합금의 열팽창 거동을 TMA 장비를 사용하여 측정하였으며, 태양전지 제조에 사용되는 고온공정시 안정성 확보를 위하여 열처리후에 금속기판재의 열팽창 거동을 측정하였다. 그리고 전산해석tool 을 활용하여 가상의 CIS 플렉서블 태양전지 제조공정을 설정하고 고온공정온도에서 상온으로 냉각시 발생되는 층간 열변형 연구를 수행하였다. 그리고 플렉서블 태양전지용 기판재로 Ni 계 합금표면에 절연체인 $SiO_2$ 증착 연구를 수행하여 Fe-52Ni 합금에서 안정적인 절연층을 얻을 수 있었다.
