Summary: A sequential route for low-cost fabrication of high quality Ag-alloyed CIGS absorbers is reported, where Ag-alloying is introduced into the CuInGa precursor to widen the band gap and improve the crystallinity of the ACIGS absorbers. Different Ag thin layer incorporation locations are schemed for deep understanding the band gap energy and crystallinity regulation mechanism of Ag alloying, leading to a notable improvement in Voc. Finally, the ACIGS absorbers are sulfurized to achieve a highest power conversion efficiency of 13.01%.

Summary: Plasma treatment of the Mo substrate improves the efficiency of solution-processed CISSe solar cells by modifying the back interface and enhancing the absorber quality. The treatment increases the wettability of the substrate, resulting in more compact and uniform precursor film. It also reduces the thickness of the high resistive layer and decreases charge carrier recombination, leading to improved solar cell efficiency.

Summary: In this study, three methods of sodium (Na) incorporation into solution-processed CISSe solar cells were investigated: pre-deposition treatment (Pre-DT), pre-selenization treatment (Pre-ST), and post-selenization treatment (PST). The Pre-ST method showed the best PV performance, achieving a maximum efficiency of 9.6%. Compared to the reference group, the Pre-ST CISSe devices showed improvements in open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current density, fill factor, and efficiency. Additionally, reductions in open-circuit voltage deficit, back contact barrier, and bulk recombination were observed for Pre-ST CISSe.

Summary: This study investigates the thermoelectric properties of materials based on the chalcopyrite structure. The properties can be controlled by doping with different types and concentrations of dopants. CuInS2 exhibits n-type behavior, which can be changed to p-type by doping with Cd and Ni. CuInSe2 shows n-type behavior, but can also be changed to p-type by doping with Cd and Ni. CuInTe2 has improved thermoelectric performance with low concentrations of Cd doping.

Summary: The presence of amine-based levelers affects the catalytic function of the accelerator at the Cu-electrolyte interface, with perturbed conformation of SPS induced by the levelers diminishing its activity and limiting direct contact with the surface. Additionally, decreased coverages of adsorbed chloride and SPS contribute to the deactivation of the accelerative effect of SPS. The incorporation of S, Cl, and C content in Cu electrodeposited in the presence of PEI, SPS, and Cl- indicates the co-incorporation of these additives, mitigating SPS acceleration.

Summary: A deposition route using dimethylformamide (DMF) and thiourea (TU) is utilized to fabricate CuIn(S,Se)(2) (CISSe) films with narrow bandgap and different Cu/In ratios for photovoltaic applications. The characterization of the films indicates the removal of copper-selenide phases from the film surface, but remnant copper-selenides still exist in the absorber layer bulk. Contrary to vacuum-processed cells, stoichiometric film compositions yield high-efficiency devices with large-grained absorber layers and smooth surfaces.

Summary: Successful void-free Cu electrodeposition in high aspect ratio features requires an additive package with halide and polyether to inhibit metal deposition on the electrode interface. Localization occurs from preferential growth in the most recessed surfaces, where sustained breakdown of the suppressor layer happens, leading to an S-shaped negative differential resistance. The interplay between additive-derived S-NDR behavior, uncompensated resistance, and potentiostatic regulation is explored in comparison to galvanostatic feature filling.

Summary: PbI2 films are crucial for the quality of PVK films in a two-step sequential deposition process. Microcrystal powder of PbI2 (P-PbI2) in micrometer size can produce higher-quality PbI2 films under low humidity conditions, while millimeter-sized PbI2 crystals (C-PbI2) allow the growth of denser films under heavy humidity conditions. PVK solar cells fabricated with P-PbI2 achieve the best power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 23.30% under low humidity of 30 +/- 5%, while C-PbI2 results in an impressive PCE of 21.09% under humidity conditions of 50 +/- 5%. This work offers insights for selecting lead iodide for PSC fabrication under air conditions.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
