Chonnam National University Researchers Resolve Long-Standing Limitation in Thin-Film Solar Cells

Introduction of a nanometric germanium oxide layer drastically improved performance and device stability
December 19, 2025

Tin monosulfide (SnS) is a promising, earth-abundant material for thin-film solar cells, but device performance has long been limited by defects and unwanted reactions at the rear contact interface. Now, researchers from Korea demonstrate that inserting an ultra-thin germanium oxide layer between the molybdenum back contact and SnS region mitigates these issues. Their findings highlight how interface engineering can greatly boost power conversion efficiency, paving the way for improving performance in many such electronics and energy technologies.

As the world urgently seeks clean energy solutions, solar power stands out for its abundance and scalability compared to other … Read More → "Chonnam National University Researchers Resolve Long-Standing Limitation in Thin-Film Solar Cells"
