New metal indium for solar glass

4 FAQs about [New metal indium for solar glass]

What is a copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) solar cell?

South Korean researchers have fabricated a copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) solar cell with a 90 μm-thick UTG provided by South Korea’s Unique Technology Integral. The device uses a cadmium-free buffer layer made of zinc oxide and magnesium oxide, instead of cadmium sulfide.

Why is indium a good material for glass?

Beyond sound, indium exhibits an unusual affinity for glass surfaces. Like gallium, it possesses the rare ability to “wet” glass — spreading across surfaces and adhering where most metals would bead up. This property proves critical in applications requiring intimate contact between metal and substrate.

Can indium tin oxide films be used in tandem solar cells?

This work focuses on the optimization of indium tin oxide (ITO) and indium zinc oxide (IZO) films for use in perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells (Fig. 1). While ITO is the industry standard, the use of IZO as the top-TCO material is becoming more popular due to the increase in charge-carrier mobility when compared with traditional ITO films.

What is indium tin oxide (ITO)?

Around 70% of global indium uses flow into producing indium tin oxide (ITO), the invisible foundation that transforms glass into responsive touchscreens and efficient solar cells. Engineers call it an “alloy vitamin” because microscopic quantities transform entire material properties, turning ordinary metals into high-performance components.
