• openAccess   Classification of solar cells according to mechanisms of charge separation and charge collection 

      Kirchartz, Thomas; Bisquert, Juan; Mora-Sero, Ivan; Garcia-Belmonte, Germà Royal Society of Chemistry (2015)
      In the last decade, photovoltaics (PV) has experienced an important transformation. Traditional solar cells formed by compact semiconductor layers have been joined by new kinds of cells that are constituted by a complex ...
    • openAccess   Interpretation of Mott-Schottky plots of photoanodes for water splitting 

      Ravishankar, Sandheep; Bisquert, Juan; Kirchartz, Thomas The Royal Society of Chemistry (2022-03-31)
      A large body of literature reports that both bismuth vanadate and haematite photoanodes are semiconductors with an extremely high doping density between 1018 and 1021 cm−3. Such values are obtained from Mott–Schottky plots ...
    • openAccess   Physical aspects of ferroelectric semiconductors for photovoltaic solar energy conversion 

      Lopez-Varo, Pilar; Bertoluzzi, Luca; Bisquert, Juan; Alexe, Marin; Coll, Mariona; Huang, Jinsong; Jiménez Tejada, Juan Antonio; Kirchartz, Thomas; Nechache, Riad; Rosei, Federico; Yuan, Yongbo Elsevier (2016-10)
      Solar energy conversion using semiconductors to fabricate photovoltaic devices relies on efficient light absorption, charge separation of electron–hole pair carriers or excitons, and fast transport and charge extraction ...
    • openAccess   Quantifying the Absorption Onset in the Quantum Efficiency of Emerging Photovoltaic Devices 

      Almora Rodríguez, Osbel; Cabrera, Carlos I.; Garcia Cerrillo, Jose; Kirchartz, Thomas; Rau, Uwe; Brabec, Christoph J. Wiley (2021-04-28)
      The external quantum efficiency (EQE), also known as incident-photon-to-collected-electron spectra are typically used to access the energy dependent photocurrent losses for photovoltaic devices. The integral over the EQE ...
