Abstract

Abstract : On the left a schematic of an ultrathin Cu(In, Ga)Se2 solar cell with passivated rear interface and on the right a transmission electron microscopy of the real device. In article number1701101 Pedro M. P. Salomé and co‐workers show a significant reduction in the rear recombination, improving the electrical performance of solar cells.
