Passivating Contacts for Silicon Solar Cells — A Zinc Oxide Breakthrough?

In the field of silicon solar cells, the search for more efficient and cost-effective technologies never ceases. One of the most exciting developments of the past decade has been the rise of so-called passivating contacts, with the current industry leader being TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) cells. I remember I was a PhD student when … Read more

Visualizing the contributions of key authors to the field of ALD – Exploring newly implemented functionality of the ALD/Database

It is more than 2 years ago that Elsa Alvaro (Northwestern University Libraries) and Angel Yanguas-Gil (Argonne National Laboratory) published their research article “Characterizing the field of Atomic Layer Deposition: Authors, topics, and collaborations” in PLOS ONE. This article provided some interesting insights into how the method of ALD evolved over time while the field … Read more

Atomic layer deposition for device integration of graphene
– A just published review paper

A new paper from our group has just appeared in Advanced Material Interfaces. In this paper I – together with my colleagues, have reviewed the methods explored to achieve uniform atomic layer deposition (ALD) on graphene. The work is part of my PhD project entitled: ‘A physical-analytical approach to atomic layer deposition of ultra-thin high-κ … Read more
