- Using energy-filtered photoelectron emission microscopy (EF-PEEM) as a functional spatial mapping, we provided the first evidence of doping induced smoothening of the work-function landscape on the absorber layer. Thus, eliminating the deep-defects generating surface secondary phases which otherwise lead to lowering of the open-circuit voltage in solar cells. This paper provided underlying proof of concept to “Solution-processed inorganic Thin-Film photovoltaic devices (SolPV)” (EP/V008692/1 £607k and EP/V008676/1 £863k). The work was also invited to present at Advances in Photovoltaics, Institute of Physics 2017 and at the 10th Kesterite+ workshop at Uppsala University (2019).
