Comment: Agreement No.: UMO-2016/21/D/ST7/01215 for the research project 2016/21/D/ST7/01215
Implementation: 25/01/2017 - 24/01/2020
Description: The scientific goal of the project is to study the impact of the use of layers containing ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) on the course of photoelectric phenomena in solar cells, and in particular on the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) conversion in these structures. The introduction of layers of ZnO nanoparticles into the photovoltaic structure is aimed at down conversion, thanks to which high-energy photons (UV) are converted into low-energy photons (visible light), used more effectively in photovoltaic conversion.
The project provides for the design and construction of test structures of solar cells containing layers of NPs ZnO converters in various photovoltaic structures, taking into account the silicon polycrystalline p-n structure as the basic one. The tests of the proposed structures will be part of the verification of the hypothesis on the suitability of selected solutions of NPs ZnO layers as energy converters for applications in solar cells, in order to improve the efficiency of photoconversion.
