In addition, the torsional strength of the TOPCon half-cells integrated into a polymer-based submodule is experimentally assessed, and the mechanism of crack initiation is identified.

The present study intends to directly increase the absorptivity of the Inconel 718 and bypass the need for coatings via Additive Manufacturing (AM) using boron-enhanced Inconel 718 powders. The effects of post-heat treatment and thermal cycling on microstructure, mechanical, and optical properties were analyzed systematically. The laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technique enabled the boron content in Inconel 718 to increase up to 5000 ppm without microstructural defects (i.e., process defects). Increased boron content induced a larger amount of eutectic <span><math><mrow><mi>γ</mi></mrow></math></span> phase (involving Laves phases) development, leading to enhanced tensile strength and microhardness. Furthermore, it is observed that after heat treatment and thermal cycling, with high boron concentration the Laves phase morphology changed to a more interconnecting web-like structure. Thus, it is important to study the possible concentration of boron that can be added to the alloy using the LPBF process. A specially designed post-heat treatment was applied to remove the Laves phase with a long-striped shape and produce a smaller, granular-shaped Laves phase. Compared to pure Inconel 718, the boron-enhanced Inconel 718 showed that its microhardness increased to 36.6 % at the as-printed stage and up to 9.2 % after a proper heat treatment. Boron-doped Inconel 718 altered the optical properties by demonstrating that reflectance decreased by 10 %. This approach could lead to the development of more resilient and high-performance receiver tubes capable of withstanding extreme operating conditions, reducing maintenance costs, and extending the lifespan of CSP components. This study aims to remove the reliance on coatings with limited lifetimes by directly increasing the absorptivity of the utilized alloy. It is expected that limiting downtime that would otherwise be utilized for recoating solar absorber tubes could provide a more reasonable return on investment after considering operational expenses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":429,"journal":{"name":"Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells","volume":"292 ","pages":"Article 113787"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144329629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As with any other photovoltaic (PV) device, the development of high-quality selective contacts is crucial. Moreover, to maintain a low-cost strategy any epitaxially-grown layer should be avoided. In this work, we investigate the deposition of n-type nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si(n)) onto p-type c-Ge substrates using Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition to form nc-Si(n)/c-Ge(p) heterojunctions that act as electron-selective contact. The deposition parameters, SiH₄+PH₃ flow and RF power, are investigated and material characteristics are analyzed via Raman spectroscopy, Transfer Length Method and Hall effect measurement, confirming the nanocrystalline quality with high conductivity (42 Ω⁻¹ cm⁻¹) and low activation energy (0.013 eV) of the nc-Si(n) layer. The interface quality of the heterojunction is evaluated by measuring the effective carrier lifetime, revealing that introducing a thin intrinsic amorphous silicon interlayer significantly enhances passivation but degrades carrier transport through the heterojunction. The developed nc-Si(n) layers are deposited onto c-Ge substrates with doping concentrations of 2 × 10¹⁵ cm³ (LD) and 2 × 10¹⁶ cm³ (HD) to fabricate c-Ge TPV cells with full rear aluminum contact. The results indicate that HD devices exhibit three times lower series resistance than LD devices, primarily due to reduced rear contact resistivity. On the other hand, LD devices show ∼5 % higher IR reflectance, attributed to lower free carrier absorption.

However, detailed n-TOPCon rear side specific investigations of the LECO process on contact properties are missing. In this contribution, we close that gap by first providing comprehensive performance data of TOPCon cells with diffused boron emitter front side and n-TOPCon rear side as industrial-like model samples. Second, we were able to identify current-fired contacts on n-TOPCon layers and investigate their nanostructure by employing a contrast etching technique, developing a large-area cross-section preparation approach and an adapted FIB preparation protocol. It becomes apparent that the contact formation significantly differs from non-LECO TOPCon contacts. Thirdly, we show that the efficiency improvement of the cells due to LECO is driven by reduction of Ag/poly-Si contact resistance and that LECO may lead to severe degradation of passivation quality if not optimized properly.
