About this event
Power up the R&D processes of your photovoltaic devices using insights from cathodoluminescence imaging!
Join our webinar on leveraging cathodoluminescence (CL) to enhance photovoltaic (PV) research. We'll explore how CL reveals phase distributions, segregation processes, and structural defects in thin-film solar cells. Learn how these insights, combined with other techniques, can improve solar power conversion. We'll also cover CL fundamentals, including light emission under electron beam excitation and various imaging modalities, providing a solid foundation for PV researchers aiming to boost solar cell efficiency and advance renewable energy solutions.

Title: Analyses of materials for photovoltaic solar cells by cathodoluminescence and other techniques in scanning electron microscopy
Abstract: For future energy needs requiring decarbonization, the use of photovoltaic power within a mix of various clean energies is indispensable. While silicon-based photovoltaics currently dominate the market of solar modules, substantial efforts are invested in the research and development of thin-film solar cells, which can be fabricated cost-effectively on lightweight, flexible substrates via roll-to-roll production. The key to their further improvements in solar-power conversion is the enhanced understanding of device-limiting features, which can be revealed in part via microscopic analyses. The present webinar will show how cathodoluminescence combined with further techniques can give insight into phase distributions, phase segregation processes, and the role of extended structural defects in polycrystalline thin films, which all may affect the device performance of corresponding solar-cell devices.
