Researchers at the International Solar Energy Research Center Konstanz (ISC Konstanz) in Germany have developed a groundbreaking method to measure the contact resistance of solar cell interconnections made with electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs). 🔹 What are ECAs? ECAs are composed of adhesive polymers embedded with metallic filler particles like silver. They are crucial in solar PV designs, especially for ribbon, shingle, and conductive backsheet interconnections. They are also used in manufacturing silicon heterojunction (SHJ) and tandem perovskite-silicon cells. 🔹 Why is this important? The new method allows precise characterization of both contact resistivity and bulk resistivity. This means better ECA bonding measurements, which can optimize ECA material formulations—using different amounts or shapes of fillers, or depositing various geometries of the ECA material on bonding surfaces. This optimization is key to reducing manufacturing costs without compromising performance.

"Perovskites, a broad class of compounds with a particular kind of crystal structure, have long been seen as a promising alternative or supplement to today's silicon or cadmium telluride solar panels. They could be far more lightweight and inexpensive, and could be coated onto virtually any substrate, including paper or flexible plastic that could be rolled up for easy transport. In their efficiency at converting sunlight to electricity, perovskites are becoming comparable to silicon, whose manufacture still requires long, complex, and energy-intensive processes. One big remaining drawback is longevity: They tend to break down in a matter of months to years, while silicon solar panels can last more than two decades. And their efficiency over large module areas still lags behind silicon. Now, a team of researchers at MIT and several other institutions has revealed ways to optimize efficiency and better control degradation, by engineering the nanoscale structure of perovskite devices." #solarcells #nanoscale #materialscience
