새로운 전자 받개인 6,7-difluoro-2,3-dihexylquinoxaline을 이용하여 유기 태양 전지형 고분자를 개발하였다. Fluorene과 6,7-difluoro-2,3-dihexylquinoxaline으로 Suzuki polymerization방법을 이용하여 낮은 HOMO 에너지를 가지는 PFDTQxF 고분자를 합성하였다. 필름상태의 PFDTQxF은 368과 493 nm에서 두 개의 흡광도를 보였다. PFDTQxF의 HOMO와 LUMO 에너지는 각각 -5.55와 -3.91 eV을 나타내었다. PFDTQxF의 태양전지 소자는 0.47 V의 $V_{OC}$와 $4.48mA/cm^2$의 $J_{SC}$와 0.32의 FF를 가지고 있어 0.78%의 에너지 효율을 나타내었다.

Chalcopyrite $CuInSe_2$(CIS) is considered to be an effective light-absorbing material for thin film photovoltaic solar cells. CIS thin films have been electrodeposited onto Mo coated and ITO glass substrates in potentiostatic mode at room temperature. The deposition mechanism of CIS thin films has been studied using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique. A cyclic voltammetric study was performed in unitary Cu, In, and Se systems, binary Cu-Se and In-Se systems, and a ternary Cu-In-Se system. The reduction peaks of the ITO substrate were examined in separate $Cu^{2+}$, $In^{3+}$, and $Se^{4+}$ solutions. Electrodeposition experiments were conducted with varying deposition potentials and electrolyte bath conditions. The morphological and compositional properties of the CIS thin films were examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The surface morphology of as-deposited CIS films exhibits spherical and large-sized clusters. The deposition potential has a significant effect on the film morphology and/or grain size, such that the structure tended to grow according to the increase of the deposition potential. A CIS layer deposited at -0.6 V nearly approached the stoichiometric ratio of $CuIn_{0.8}Se_{1.8}$. The growth potential plays an important role in controlling the stoichiometry of CIS films.

Three heteroleptic ruthenium sensitizers, Ru(L)($L^1)(NCS)_2$ [L = 4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridine, Ru-T1: $L^1$ = (E)-2-(4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridin-4-yl)-3-(thiophen-2-yl)acrylonitrile, Ru-T2: $L^2$ = (E)-3-(5'-hexyl-2,2'-bithiophen-5- yl)-2-(4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile, and Ru-T3: $L^3$ = (E)-3-(5"-hexyl-2,2':5',2"-terthiophen-5-yl)-2- (4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile)], were synthesized and used as photosensitizers in nanocrystalline dyesensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The introduction of the 3-(5-hexyloligothiophen-5-yl)acrylonitrile group increased the conjugation length of the bipyridine donor ligand and thus improved their molar absorption coefficient and light harvesting efficiency. DSSCs with the configuration of Sn$O_2$: F/Ti$O_2$/ruthenium dye/liquid electrolyte/Pt devices were fabricated using these Ru-$T1{\sim}T3$ as a photosensitizers. Among the devices, the DSSCs composed of Ru-T2 exhibited highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.84% under AM 1.5 G illumination (100 mW/$cm^2$).

$Cu_2$$ZnSnS_4$(CZTS) thin film is one of the candidate materials for the solar cell. It has an excellent optical absorption coefficient as well as appropriate 1.4~1.5eV band gap. The purpose of this study is replacing a half of high-cost Indium(In) atoms with low-cost Zinc(Zn) atoms and the other half with low-cost Tin(Sn) atoms in the lattice of CIS. Thin films were deposited on ITO glass substrates using a compact target which were made by $Cu_2$S, ZnS, SnS$_2$ powder at room temperature by rf magnetron sputtering and were annealed in the atmosphere of Ar and $S_2$(g). We investigated potentialities of a low-cost material for the solar cell by measuring of thin film composition, the structure and optical properties. We could get an appropriate $Cu_2$$ZnSnS_4$ composition. Structure was coarsened with increasing temperature and (112), (200), (220), (312) planes appeared to conform to all the reflection Kesterite structure. A (112) preferred orientation was advanced with increasing the annealing temperature as shown in the diffraction peaks of the CIS cells and was available for photovoltaic thin film materials. The band gap increased from 1.51 to 1.8eV as the annealing temperature increased. The optical absorption coefficient of the thin film was about $10^4$$cm^{-1}$.

Transparent, conductive electrode films, showing the particular characteristics of good conductivity and high transparency, are of considerable research interest because of their potential for use in opto-electronic applications, such as smart window, photovoltaic cells and flat panel displays. Multilayer transparent electrodes, having a much lower electrical resistance than widely-used transparent conducting oxide electrodes, were prepared by using RF/DC magnetron sputtering system. The multilayer structure consisted of three layers, [NiInZnO(NIZO)/Ag/NIZO]. The optical and electrical properties of the multilayered NIZO/Ag/NIZO structure were investigated in relation to the thickness of each layer. The optical and electrical characteristics of multilayer structures have been investigated as a function of the Ag and NIZO film thickness. High-quality transparent conductive films have been obtained, with sheet resistance of $9.8{\Omega}/sq$ for Ag film thickness of 8 nm. Also the multilayer films of inserted Ag 8 nm thickness showed a high optical transmittance above 93% in the visible range. The electrical and optical properties of the new multilayer films were mainly dependent on the thickness of Ag insertion layer.

Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) system consists of high-quality complex optical elements, mechanical devices, and electronics components and can have the advantages of high integration and high-efficiency energy sources. III-V compound semiconductor cells have proven performance based on high reliability in the aerospace field, but have characteristics that require absolute support of the balance of systems (BOS) such as solar position trackers, receivers with heat sinks, and housing instruments. To determine the optimum parameters of secondary optical elements (SOEs) design for CPV systems, we designed three types of CPV modules, classified as non-SOEs type, reflective mirror type, and CPC lens type. We measured the I-V and P-V characteristics of the prototype CPV modules with the angle of inclination varying from 0° to 12° and with a 500-magnification Fresnel lens. The experimental results assumed misalignment of the solar position tracker or module design of pinpoint accuracy. As a result, at the 0° tilt angle, the CPC lens produced lower power due to the quartz transmittance ratio compared to that by other SOEs. However, for tilt angles greater than 3°, the CPC lens type module achieved high efficiency and stability. This study is expected to help design high-performance CPV systems.

본 연구에서는 다양한 방법들을 이용하여 태양전지 폐 모듈로부터 태양전지의 주요 구성요소인 실리콘과 강화유리를 회수하는 연구를 수행하였다. 강화유리는 유기용매를 사용하여 회수하였고, EVA수지는 열처리를 통하여 완전히 제거하였다. 실리콘은 계면 활성제를 첨가한 혼산용액을 이용하여 표면물질을 제거하고 회수하였다. 90%이상의 높은 실리콘 회수율을 얻었다. 본 연구에 의하여 얻어진 강화유리와 실리콘은 태양전지 모듈의 원료로 재활용되어 실리콘 공급부족 문제해결, 태양전지 제조원가 및 폐기물 처리비용 절감에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Soiling on the surface of a PV module reduces the amount of light reaching the solar cells, decreasing power performance. The performance of the PV module is generally restored after contaminants on the module surface are washed away by rain, but it accumulates at the bottom of the module owing to the thickness of the module frame, causing an output mismatch on the PV module. Since PV modules are usually installed horizontally or vertically outdoors, soiling can occur at the bottom of the PV module, depending on the installation direction due to external environmental factors. This paper is analyzed the output characteristics of a PV module considering its installation direction and the soiling area. The soiling was simulated to use transparent films with 5% transmittance, and the transmission film was attached to the bottom part of the PV module horizontally and vertically. When the soiling area was 33% of the string at the bottom of the PV module, the power output decreased similarly regardless of installation direction. However, when the soiling area was 66% of the string at the bottom of the PV module, it was confirmed that the output performance decreased sharply when installed vertically rather than horizontally.

에너지 하베스팅(Harvesting)은 1954년 미국 벨 연구소가 태양광을 에너지로 바꾸는 태양전지 연구를 진행하면서 소개된 개념이다. 이러한 에너지 하베스팅 기술은 일상생활 속 버려지거나 미활용 되는 에너지를 모아 전력으로 재활용하는 기술로서 에너지를 효율적으로 활용할 수 있게 하는 친환경 에너지 방안 중 하나로서 다양한 에너지를 적용할 수 있다. 특별히 태양광발전시스템의 경우 맑은 날에 비해 흐린 날씨에 전력생산 Loss가 발생하는 형태로 인버터에서 발생하는 전력 소모를 줄이기 위해, 배터리를 이용하여 발생하는 전기를 저장함으로써 에너지 하베스팅을 적용할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 일출, 일몰, 흐린 날씨 등의 낮은 일조량 구간에서 에너지 하베스팅 기술을 적용하여 인버터 동작 최저전압 이하 및 소멸하는 전력을 회수하여 발전량을 개선하고자 한다. 이에 따라 태양광발전 전력량에 따른 시스템 및 알고리즘 개발과 일몰, 일출, 그 밖에 환경에서 발전되는 저 전력을 이용한 시스템과 알고리즘 개발을 통해 연구내용을 증명하였다.
