Problems solved by technology

cause the current I 2 -II-IV-VI 4 An important reason for the low efficiency of thin-film solar cells is that the device structure has not been optimized well. 2 -II-IV-VI 4 Insufficient ohmic contact between the base light-absorbing layer and the bottom electrode, and poor band-level matching between the buffer layer and the window layer will cause a significant decline in battery performance.
