Using Electron Microscopy to Explore Solar Cell Interfaces: Microstructures, Efficiency, and Stability
Solar cell interfaces, including grain boundaries, twin boundaries, stacking faults, and phase boundaries, are the main nonradiative recombination and degradation sites and affect the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of solar cells, making it necessary to understand their fine structures and properties. Electron microscopy has provided micrometer/nanometer/atomic-scale structural information for investigating the microstructure of materials to unravel the structure–performance relationships of solar cells. Electron microscopy and related techniques have recently been used to investigate solar cell interfaces, but there has been no systematic summary of this research. In recent years, advances in technologies such as electron microscopy imaging, electron spectroscopy, in situ electron microscopy, and detectors have greatly expanded researchers’ understanding of the interface properties of solar cells. This Review covers the research on the interfaces in perovskite/silicon/CdTe and Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells using electron microscopy and provides prospects for further progress.

期刊介绍:
ACS Energy Letters is a monthly journal that publishes papers reporting new scientific advances in energy research. The journal focuses on topics that are of interest to scientists working in the fundamental and applied sciences. Rapid publication is a central criterion for acceptance, and the journal is known for its quick publication times, with an average of 4-6 weeks from submission to web publication in As Soon As Publishable format.
ACS Energy Letters is ranked as the number one journal in the Web of Science Electrochemistry category. It also ranks within the top 10 journals for Physical Chemistry, Energy & Fuels, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology.
The journal offers several types of articles, including Letters, Energy Express, Perspectives, Reviews, Editorials, Viewpoints and Energy Focus. Additionally, authors have the option to submit videos that summarize or support the information presented in a Perspective or Review article, which can be highlighted on the journal's website. ACS Energy Letters is abstracted and indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service/SciFinder, EBSCO-summon, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Portico.
