Tähtsamad tulemused
2024. aasta olulisemate tulemustena saab välja tuua: CdS/Sb2Se3 õhukesekileliste päikeseelementide arenduses tõestati eksperimentaalselt Cl lisandi mõju CdS ja Sb2Se3 piirpinna omadustele ja näitasime, et 1 mM NH4Cl lisamine Cl allikana CBD-sadestatud CdS-i võib suurendada CdS/Sb2Se3 päikeseelementide kasutegurit ~20%. Töötati välja β-Bi2O3 õhukeste kilede kasvuprotokollid USP meetodil. Sb-kalkogeniidsetel materjalidel põhinevate poolläbipaistvate päikeseelementide väljaarenduses rakendati erinevaid floureenipõhiseid orgaanilisi aukjuhtmaterjale. Uut tüüpi aukjuhtmaterjalide rakendamine võimaldas tõsta päikeseelemendi keskmise optiline läbilaskvuse nähtava valguse piirkonnas 33%-ni, kusjuures päikeseelemendi efektiivsus oli 4.9%.
