Patterning solar cell metal grids on transparent conductive oxides using self-assembled phosphonic acid monolayers
Andreatta, Gaëlle Anne Léonie; Lachowicz, Agata; Blondiaux, Nicolas; Allebé, Christophe; Faes, Antonin (2019-12-01)We present a novel, simple and cost-effective method for patterning transparent conductive oxides (TCO) in order to form solar cell's metal grid by electro-plating. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are prepared by dipping ... -
Selective Copper Electroplating on Patterned Self-Assembled Monolayers for Photovoltaic Applications
Gay, Julien; Lachowicz, Agata; Blondiaux, Nicolas; Andreatta, Gaëlle Anne Léonie (2022-10-14)The photovoltaic industry is expected to consume 30–50% of the global silver supply by 2030, indicating the need for using other materials for solar cell metallization processes. We report herein a low-cost and scalable ... -
Spray coating vs. immersion for self-assembly of gemini perfluorinated phosphonic acids on indium tin oxide
Andreatta, Gaëlle Anne Léonie; Blondiaux, Nicolas; Gay, Julien; Unterhofer, Samuel; Lachowicz, Agata; Faes, Antonin (2021-08-31)Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used to engineer the surface properties of metals and metal oxide layers. This article reports the fabrication of gemini perfluorinated phosphonic acids SAMs on indium tin oxide ...
