Abstract

Transparent photovoltaics are the solar cells to generate electric-power from the light. Due to the high transparency, TPV has a high potential to be adopted in the transparent windows, as the invisible power generator. To improve the TPV performance, multi-stacked transparent-electrode (MTE) was designed having Ni film in two indium-tin-oxide layers. Ni-5 nm MTE shows prominently improvement to drive the high open-circuit voltage (V_oc = 0.507 V) and short-circuit current density (J_sc = 3.00 mA/cm²), resulting in power-conversion-efficiency of 0.45% under AM 1.5G illumination. The functional transparent-electrode is a pivotal scheme to enhance TPV performance with less trade-off in transmittance. The TPV has the high potential to be applied in the transparent electronics and windows as the invisible power generator.
