Effects of spectral coupling on perovskite solar cells under diverse climatic conditions (2014)
Journal Article
Senthilarasu, S., Fernández, E. F., Almonacid, F., & Mallick, T. K. (2015). Effects of spectral coupling on perovskite solar cells under diverse climatic conditions. Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 133, 92-98. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solmat.2014.10.037

The high conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells has opened a potential market for solar cells based on low cost manufacturing techniques which could change the photovoltaic (PV) production road map. Although the 9% efficient 10 cm x 10 cm pe... Read More about Effects of spectral coupling on perovskite solar cells under diverse climatic conditions.

Spray deposited copper zinc tin sulphide (Cu2ZnSnS4) film as a counter electrode in dye sensitized solar cells (2014)
Journal Article
Swami, S. K., Chaturvedi, N., Kumar, A., Chander, N., Dutta, V., Kumar, D. K., Ivaturi, A., Senthilarasu, S., & Upadhyaya, H. M. (2014). Spray deposited copper zinc tin sulphide (Cu2ZnSnS4) film as a counter electrode in dye sensitized solar cells. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 16(43), 23993-23999. https://doi.org/10.1039/C4CP03312D

Stoichiometric thin films of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) were deposited by the spray technique on a FTO coated glass substrate, with post-annealing in a H2S environment to improve the film properties. CZTS films were used as a counter electrode (CE) in Dye-Sens... Read More about Spray deposited copper zinc tin sulphide (Cu2ZnSnS4) film as a counter electrode in dye sensitized solar cells.
