However, the metal lines introduce optical and geometric losses through shading and inactive regions, creating a trade-off between resistive and optical performance. A device model is developed to quantify this trade-off across multiple photovoltaic architectures, including organic and perovskite single-junction devices and a range of tandem devices, to predict the maximum achievable efficiency of wafer-scale devices using state-of-the-art small-area record performance as a benchmark. The results indicate that, when upscaled to wafer-size submodules, single-junction organic and perovskite solar cells are generally more susceptible to efficiency losses, whereas tandem architectures, including silicon- and III–V-based devices, are more likely to retain high power conversion efficiencies (PCE). In particular, perovskite-silicon tandem submodules can realistically retain PCE above 30% in simple two-terminal configurations. In addition, a generalized method applicable across a range of materials and architectures is presented to determine the optimal metal line spacing using a limited set of device and TCE parameters. This provides a practical tool for translating laboratory-scale results into scalable monolithic submodule designs and offers clear guidelines for minimizing losses during upscaling.","PeriodicalId":230,"journal":{"name":"Solar RRL","volume":"10 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/solr.70486","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149146777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, deposition temperature can strongly influence the chemical and electronic properties of NiOx films and their interfaces, affecting device performance. Here, we investigate ALD-NiOx layers deposited at temperatures ranging from 75 to 250 °C and correlate their properties with photovoltaic performance. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals an increase in stoichiometric NiO content from 76% to 96% with increasing deposition temperature, while only minor variations in work function are observed. PSCs fabricated using these ALD-NiOx layers show only marginal performance improvements above 150 °C, with efficiency gains below 1% absolute, mainly due to changes in fill factor and short-circuit current. As an application-oriented demonstration, ALD-NiOx deposited at 100 °C was implemented in a monolithic CIGS/perovskite tandem device, yielding a power conversion efficiency above 23%, with an open-circuit voltage of 1651 mV and a fill factor of 76%.

Inorganic fibrous materials have attracted increasing attention in SIE systems owing to their excellent thermal stability, chemical robustness, and tunable porous structures. This review summarizes the classifications, fabrication strategies, and structural characteristics of inorganic fibrous materials. The roles of fibrous architectures in solar energy harvesting, thermal management, and water transport are discussed, with particular attention to the relationships among structural design, coupled transport, and evaporation performance. Structural engineering and surface functionalization are regarded as effective strategies for regulating interfacial water–material interactions, enhancing capillary-driven transport, and improving salt resistance. Strategies integrating external energy inputs are highlighted to improve evaporation stability under fluctuating environmental conditions. Representative applications in seawater desalination, wastewater treatment, and evaporation-induced power generation are presented. The development of inorganic fibrous SIE systems remains constrained by challenges in long-term stability, coupled transport optimization, and standardized evaluation. Future efforts should focus on scalable fabrication, mechanistic insights into photothermal conversion and coupled heat and mass transfer, and system-level evaluation to accelerate the development of durable SIE systems. This review establishes a structure–transport–performance framework to guide the rational design of high-performance inorganic fibrous evaporators.","PeriodicalId":230,"journal":{"name":"Solar RRL","volume":"10 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149146775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a new approach is developed for fabricating mesh-patterned, semitransparent Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin-film solar cells using a photolithography-based bottom-up manufacturing process. By defining transparent openings before the solar cell absorber deposition, this method avoids postdeposition etching, which often causes thermal degradation and detrimental secondary phases. The resulting device exhibits an average visible transmittance (AVT) of 67.45% and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 1.59%, demonstrating proof of concept. In addition, an AlGaInP red LED is integrated into the transparent region of a CZTSSe cell to create a dual-function optoelectronic module. The hybrid device maintains open-circuit voltage and fill factor values similar to those of the original transparent PV. Although the short-circuit current density decreases by 5.9%, the PCE declines by only 0.1%.

The [Ge]/([Zn] + [Ge]) ratio can be adjusted by a cosputtering deposition technique to control the optical bandgap of the ZnGeO films from 3.3 to 4.7 eV and the electron affinity from 4.1 to 3.2 eV.

In this study, 2D g-C3N4 and MoS2 were immobilized in a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane to prepare a g-C3N4/MoS2/PVDF piezo-photocatalytic composite membrane. Under the combined action of visible light and mechanical vibration, the membrane achieved a TC degradation efficiency of 76.54%, indicating a synergistic enhancement between piezoelectric polarization and photocatalysis. The formation of C─S bonds at the g-C3N4/MoS2 interface enhanced electronic coupling between the two phases, promoting directional migration and spatial separation of photogenerated carriers. Meanwhile, the piezoelectric built-in electric field generated by PVDF under ultrasonic excitation further suppressed carrier recombination and accelerated interfacial charge transfer.

In this work, a photoelectrochemical system with a sulfur-based semiconductor Se-CdS-MPA photoelectrode is constructed for the mechanistic investigation of iodobutane production via KI and TBAPF6. The reaction can be carried out in both half-cells, and factors such as the catalytic medium and external stimuli impact the iodobutane production rate. The overall iodobutane yield was 176.87 mol% after 10 h in both compartments of the system. Varying alkyl iodides are prepared through the reaction of ammonium ions with different alkyl chain lengths and iodide ions. Both the conversion and product yield increase with the elongation of alkyl chain length through an electron-transfer-controlled mechanism. The reaction proceeds spontaneously via SN2 nucleophilic substitution, and the alkyl iodides are synthesized in conjunction with radical mechanisms under PEC conditions. The iodide ion also coupled with the cadmium ion from photo-oxidative decomposition of the photoelectrode to constitute a new photocatalyst, CdI2, which improves the stability and photocurrent density of the system significantly.
