To make the cell, the researchers created a sandwich. They started with a standard silicon base, added some oxide layers, and then added a thin film of selenium. Placing it in sunlight showed that ...

The selenium cell is the next major breakthrough for solar power production. Charles Fritts continued the progress of many other inventors in the arena, settling on selenium after other pioneering ...

Researcher Taizo Kobayashi said the cells could be produced at lower costs than copper, indium, gallium and selenium (CIGS) or perovskite thin-film solar cells, as the p-type selenium used in the ...

Researchers at the Ritsumeikan University in Japan have fabricated a heterojunction solar cell that utilizes a window layer made of titanium oxide (TiO2) and an absorber based on selenium (Se ...
