Description
Simon Moser and co-authors add lithium to a solar absorber film after the film is made, in a 2023 study. The absorber feeds cheap thin film solar cells. Lithium boosts cell output, yet adding it during growth can mar the film's texture.
Their trick soaks the finished film in a liquid cell that drives lithium in with electric current. The dose is set by the treatment terms, and the lithium joins the crystal frame. Cells built after treatment reached nine percent efficiency. Strong sideways spread of lithium was also seen. The authors say the method needs polish to fix surface issues, but it could serve other film types too.
