Swaziland Photovoltaic Cell Aluminum Foil

Can aluminum foil be used to make low-cost perovskite solar cells?

By adjusting the thicknesses of the MoO 3 interlayer, a champion cell showed a power conversion efficiency of 7.09% based on spray-coated silver nanowires top electrode, proving the concept of using aluminum foil in making low-cost perovskite solar cells.

Are solar panels a viable source of electricity in Eswatini?

Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells are increasingly prominent sources of small-scale electricity production in Eswatini. The government actively encourages the adoption of solar panels in residential and commercial buildings to provide both electricity and water heating.

Can aluminum foil be used as a low-cost metal electrode?

Aluminum (Al) foil is an extremely low-cost metal electrode with high conductivity and is an ideal alternative for the ITO electrode in PVSKs. Aiming to develop low-cost PVSK, we systematically optimized the layer sequential of inverted PVSK based on the opaque Al bottom electrode.

How is the Swazi government advancing its energy infrastructure?

In collaboration with private entities and foreign aid programs, the Swazi government is taking crucial and necessary steps to advance its energy infrastructure and deliver power to the 17% of the population (more than 200,000 people) living without it.

Which AgNW electrode is used for PVSK based on opaque al electrode?

Perovskite solar cells with spray-coated silver nanowire top electrode Knowing that AgNWs have balanced conductivity and light transparency, to improve further the performance of PVSK based on opaque Al electrode, we used a spray-coated AgNW electrode as the top transparent electrode.

Can solution-processed AgNW top electrode reduce the cost of perovskite solar cells?

We therefore proposed to prepare perovskite solar cells from Al bottom electrode with solution-processed AgNW top electrode, which should be able to reduce the cost of the perovskite solar cells dramatically.
