Comparison of the Temperature Coefficients of the Basic I-V Parameters for Various Types of Solar Cells
Abstract It is well-known that the maximum power output of photovoltaic devices changes with temperature. Therefore, the temperature coefficients of the basic device performance parameters (open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, fill factor, and efficiency) are important factors which must be taken into account in the design of a photovoltaic power system, where temperature changes occur ...

Synthesis and photovoltaic properties of CuInS 2 /CdS quantum dots co-sensitised TiO 2 photo-anodes
The CuInS 2 and CdS quantum dots co-sensitised solar cells are successfully fabricated to improve the photovoltaic performance. The CuInS 2 quantum dots are adsorbed on the surface of TiO 2 nanoparticles by assembly linking technique, and then the CdS quantum dots are deposited by successive ionic layer absorption and reaction technique. The absorption intensity is obviously enhanced and ...
