Tunneling a path to low cost, high efficiency solar cells

(Lehigh University) Nicholas Strandwitz of Lehigh University was recently awarded a grant as part of DOE's SunShot Initiative's Photovoltaics Research and Development 2 funding program, which seeks to transform PV module design, explore high-risk emerging technology research, and devices and designs that facilitate rapid solar installation. Strandwitz will explore a promising technique to manufacture solar cells using atomic layer deposited (ALD) tunnel barriers, which are barriers that are so t
