- Additional information
- We report the effect of controlled/uncontrolled oxidation with increased performance for CdTe solar cell achieving high acceptor concentration using As doping. This work contributed to the patent development of an injector design (WO2014122484 (A1)) “injector and method” (shared with industrial partner: Scanwel Ltd) followed by Welsh government funding (A4B) titled: "Chamberless Inline Process for Advanced Materials (CIPAM)" to work with 6 industrial partners for application of designed prototype. Led to research contracts with the world leading thin film PV company First Solar to explore routes for higher performance PV modules.
