[Thin-Films] – Towards more efficient, non-toxic, and flexible thin-film solar cells
20 septembre 2022
While efficiency is a primary concern for solar cells, researchers have also focused on developing solar cells that are lightweight, low-cost, and flexible. However, the fabrication process itself has posed a serious environmental concern: the use of toxic materials and generation of industrial waste.
