摘要
Compared with their rigid counterparts, thin-film solar cells grown on flexible substrates usually display lower power-conversion efficiencies. Now, the application of a post-deposition alkaline treatment that modifies the chemical composition of the surfaces of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films reduces optical losses in these flexible photovoltaic architectures. Furthermore, efficiencies comparable to solar cells based on polycrystalline silicon are achieved.
