Chemical Processing for Advanced Photovoltaics

Wednesday, November 11, 2009: 3:15 PM
Tennessee A (Gaylord Opryland Hotel)

Description:
Papers being sought describe the chemical processing of materials for solar cells including synthesis, characterization and modeling of Si-based cells/thin film technologies; process control and diagnostics, alternative buffers, TCOs, novel contacts, moisture barriers, and other measures related to stability/reliability of the solar cell; non-conventional PV conversion processes based on quantum and nanostructure concepts, intermediate-band solar cells, multiple charge generation, up/down converters, thermophotonics, hot-carrier cells, and other concepts; organic materials, including excitonic solar cells based on organic molecules, polymers, dyes, chromophores, and organic compounds that could be used as electrodes; and organic/inorganic materials and innovative devices such as luminescent concentrators.
