Research Topic: Development of Innovative Transparent Conductive materials for High-Efficiency Solar Cells
Research Activity:
My research focuses on the fabrication and optimization of indium-free transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) for advanced photovoltaic applications. I conduct RF and DC sputtering to develop novel TCO materials and multi-layer TCO structures, such as TCO/metal/TCO, to enhance electrical conductivity and optical transparency. These improvements aim to maximize the efficiency of solar cells by reducing resistive losses and improving light transmission.
