Background Cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic technology is considered one of the most successful commercial thin film solar cell technologies, boasting a power conversion efficiency of approximately 23%. Despite this achievement, the current power conversion efficiency for CdTe modules is still far from the theoretical power conversion efficiency...

Background All-inorganic perovskite solar cells (AI-PSCs) have emerged as a promising technology in the field of photovoltaics, offering significant advancements in efficiency and stability. Perovskite materials as solar energy absorbers are traditionally developed with hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites. These types of hybrid materials demonstrate...

Computer memory devices may employ any of various mechanisms for storing data, e.g., using memory cells each of which may be programmed to be in any of two or more states. Non-volatile memory includes memory cells each of which operates by changing the resistance across an active switching layer, e.g., an insulator, through the formation of conductive...

There is a need for solar cells with highly efficient light-to-electricity conversion and lower cost. Multijunction cells, which include multiple light-absorbing materials, each of which converts a given wavelength range of the solar spectrum, can be used to provide greater conversion efficiency than single-junction thin-film solar cells. However,...
