Is molybdenum a suitable material for perovskite solar cells?

Molybdenum (Mo), one of the metals having a high work function combined with high electrical conductivity, might be a candidate material for low-cost and highly efficient perovskite solar cells. With respect to cost, the unit price of Mo is far lower than 0.1% of that of Au.

What is the importance of electrode buffer layers in organic solar cells?

Volume 34, article number 1415, ( 2023 ) High performance and high stability are the urgent requirement for the potential commercial application of organic solar cells (OSCs). Electrode buffer layers have important influence on the photovoltaic performance and stability of OSCs.

Can a Mo cathode be used for a perovskite solar cell?

Highly efficient and noble metal-free perovskite solar cell (PSC) were fabricated. The Mo cathoded PSCs exhibit comparable performances to that of Au-based cells. Best cell based on Mo cathode shows stabilized efficiency as high as 15%. Nanoindentation and nano-scratch test show Mo can serve as a durable electrode for PSCs.

Is Mo metal a good back contact material for CIGS solar cells?

The comparison of Mo metal and other materials indicate Mo is an ideal back contact material for CIGS solar cells, because of its inertness and high conductivity. 7 However, it is difficult to obtain the low resistivity and the good adhesion simultaneously.
