Abstract

Abstract : In article number1601935, Andriy Zakutayev and co‐workers study trade‐offs in thin film solar cells with layered photovoltaic absorbers. Using high‐throughput combinatorial experimental methods, electron collection in such photovoltaic devices is found to be enhanced by a drift in the electric field, which however also reduces the solar cell voltage.
