Inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite solar cells have demonstrated a significant achievement by reaching a certified power conversion efficiency of 25.2% in 2019 as compared to that of 3.8% in 2009. However, organic hole conductors such as PTAA and spiro-OMeTAD are known to be expensive and unstable when they are exposed to operational conditions. In this study, the inorganic hole conductor CuSCN was used to overcome such concerns. The influence of dipropyl sulfide (DPS) and diethyl sulfide (DES) as CuSCN deposition solvents on the underlying perovskite active layer was investigated. DES solvent was observed to be advantageous in terms of CuSCN solubility and mild for the perovskite layer, thereby resulting in a power conversion efficiency of 16.9%.

Hybrid solar cells have intensively studied in recent years due to their advantages such as cost effectiveness and possibility of applications in flexible and transparent devices. It is critical to fabricate individual layer composed of organic and inorganic materials in the hybrid solar cell at low cost. Therefore, it is required to manufacture cheaply and enhance the photon-to-electricity conversion efficiency of each layer in the flexible solar cell industry. In this research, we fabricated pure Cu metal mesh electrode prepared by using electroplating and/or electroless plating on the Ni mold which was manufacture through photolithography, electroforming, and polishing process. Copper mesh was formed on the surface of nickel metal working master when pulsed electrolytic copper deposition were performed at various plating parameters such as plating time, current density, and so on. After electrodeposition at 2ASD for 5~30seconds, the line/pitch/thickness of copper mesh sheet was $1.8{\sim}2.0/298/0.5{\mu}m$.

An improved hybrid solar cell was obtained by focusing on the effects of ligand for CdSe nanoparticles, in the active layers. The performance was compared by mixing nanoparticles capped with pyridine or oleic acid for the acceptor material into poly(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester based active layer. The solar cells with pyridine capped CdSe nanoparticles showed a power conversion efficiency of 2.96% while oleic acid capped CdSe nanoparticles showed 2.85%, under AM 1.5G illumination. Formation of percolation pathways for carrier transport and a reduction in the hopping event resulted in better performance of pyridine capped nanoparticles.

The electricity conversion-efficiency of solar cell for commercial application is about 6-15%. More than 85% of the incoming solar energy is either reflected or absorbed as heat energy. Consequently, the working temperature of the photovoltaic cells increases considerably after prolonged operations and the cell's efficiency drops significantly. PV/T refers to the integration of a PV module and a solar thermal collector in a single piece of equipment. By cooling the PV module with a fluid steam like air or water, the electricity yield can be improved. At the same time, the heat pick-up by the fluid can be to support space heating or service hot-water systems. In this study, a pulsating heat pipe solar heat collector was combined with single-crystal silicon photovoltaic cell in hybrid energy-generating unit that simultaneously produced low temperature heat and heat and electricity. This experiment was investigating thermal and electrical efficiency for evaluation of a PV/T system.

As an alternative energy, Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have received much attention due to low cost manufacturing procedure and high energy consumption rate. Incorporating scattering centers in the nanocrystalline photoanode or additional scattering layers on the nanocrystalline photoanode is an effective way to enhance the light harvest efficiency of the photoanode and the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The light scattering abilities of these scattering layers also depend on the relative sizes and phase of the particles in the layers. A higher surface area is normally obtained using large particle sizes. Therefore, transparent high surface area $TiO_2$ layers and an additional scattering layer consisting of $TiO_2$-Rutile 500 nm paste with relatively larger particles are attractive. In this work, we investigates the applicability of a hybrid $TiO_2$ electrode (or a working electrode with a light scattering layer) in a DSSCs. We fabrication various thin film using $TiO_2$ paste 20 nm and $TiO_2$ paste 500 nm. As a result, the efficiency of the a single structure thin film was 3.35% and the efficiency as scattering layer of hybrid structure thin film was 4.36%, 4.73%.

본 연구에서는 염료감응형 태양전지의 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 여러 조건에서 $TiO_2$에 불소를 도핑한 후 이를 이용하여 광전극을 제조하고 그 전기화학적 특성을 평가하였다. 불소 도핑된 $TiO_2$를 이용하여 제조된 염료감응형 태양전지의 에너지 전환 효율을 전류-전압 곡선을 통하여 계산하였다. $TiO_2$ 광전극을 불소 도핑함으로써 에너지 전환 효율이 최대 3배 이상 향상되었다. 이와 같은 결과는 불소 도핑 후 에너지 준위가 감소된 $TiOF_2$가 $TiO_2$와 혼재됨으로써 광전극 내에 용이한 전자 전달이 가능하고 이로 인하여 염료 감응형 태양전지의 효율이 향상된 것으로 여겨진다. 이는 IMPS (intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy) 및 IMVS (intensity-modulated photovoltage spectroscopy) 분석에서도 불소가 도핑됨으로써 전자 전달이 빨라지고, 전자 재결합은 느려지는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

A key technological issue related to the implementation of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is the replacement of Pt at the counter electrodes with an inexpensive and electro-chemically stable alternative. Carbon based nanomaterials could be promising candidates, but in practice they exhibit inadequate device performance. Here, we report very thin graphene oxide (GO)/metal hybrid films as transparent counter electrodes for high-efficiency DSSCs. Transparent GO/Pt and GO/Au hybrid films showed cell efficiencies of 9.2 and 9.0%, respectively (improvements of 9.5 and 7.1% over conventional Pt counter electrodes). More interestingly, highly stable DSSCs with GO hybrid films from relatively inexpensive metals such as Cu and Ni have been demonstrated with efficiency values comparable to Pt counter electrodes. The results reported in this study should enable low-cost fabrication of DSSCs because it allows the use of relatively inexpensive metals such as Au, Cu, Ni, and Ag that could not be previously employed in DSSCs with iodide/tri-iodide electrolyte due to corrosion.

기존의 인공위성은 다기능·높은 성능을 가진 대형위성을 국가 단위에서 운용하는 것이 일반적이었으나 최근의 전기·전자 및 광학 기술의 경량 소형화 발전에 따라 점차 소형위성이 주목받고 있다. 크기와 무게가 감소됨에 따라 적은 비용으로 개발 및 발사가 가능하여 위성 개발에 진입장벽이 낮아지고 있으나, 인공위성의 전력공급에 필수적인 태양전지 패널의 경우 태양광에 효율적으로 노출되기 위해 넓은 표면적이 필요하여 소형화 및 경량화가 제한적이다. 우주용 태양전지는 우주선과 태양열, 온도와 같은 다양한 우주환경을 고려하여 제작되어야하고, 부피를 최적화하기 위해 전개 매커니즘을 적용하며 경량화 및 고효율화를 위하여 태양전지 셀의 구조적 재료적인 연구개발이 필요하다. 현재 태양전지 패널로 개발되어 운용되고 있는 제품들은 고효율화를 위하여 주로 InGaP/GaAs/Ge 소재의 3중구조를 적용하고 있다. 최근에는 초고효율 다층구조 태양전지를 위하여 4중접합 이상의 구조가 연구되고 있으며, 나아가 소재적으로 경량화에 유리한 유연박막 태양전지, 유기 및 유무기 하이브리드 태양전지 등이 차세대 소형위성용 태양전지로 주목받고 있다.
