A new way of making large sheets of high-quality, atomically thin graphene could lead to ultra-lightweight, flexible solar cells, and to new classes of light-emitting devices and other thin-film electronics.
They measured an optical transmittance close to 90 percent for the graphene film under visible light. The prototyped graphene-based solar cell improves by roughly 36 times the delivered power per weight, compared to ITO-based state-of-the-art devices. It also uses 1/200 the amount of material per unit area for the transparent electrode.
Flexible electronics are currently one of the most important developing trends, which is normally fabricated and supported on external flexible substrates. In this work, we experimentally realized a facile graphene-mediated peel-off technology for the substrate-free flexible hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a -Si:H) thin film solar cell.
Large sheets of transparent graphene that could be used for lightweight, flexible solar cells or electronics displays can now be created using a method developed at MIT. The technique involves a buffer layer of parylene for the graphene transfer process. Lead researchers include Jing Kong, Tomas Palacios, Markus Buehler, and Giovanni Azzellino.
In conclusion, we proposed a substrate-free flexible a -Si:H solar cell by a simple and scalable peel-off process, using graphene as the interlayer between the device and the SiO 2 /Si substrate. The DFT calculations demonstrate that the graphene facilitates exfoliating Ag film from SiO 2 substrate with a 61% exfoliation energy drop.
Recently, some flexible solar cells were fabricated by transferring thin film solar cells (TFSCs) from high-temperature-resistant substrates onto arbitrary receiver substrates [5, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]. The transferring approach bypasses the above incompatibility problems between flexible substrates and devices.
