The path towards a high-performance solution-processed kesterite solar cellDavid B. Mitzi | Oki Gunawan | Teodor K. Todorov | Kejia Wang | Supratik Guha
Volume 95, Issue 6, June 2011, Pages 1421-1436
Despite the promise of thin-film Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 (CIGSSe) chalcopyrite and CdTe photovoltaic technologies with respect to reducing cost per watt of solar energy conversion, these approaches rely on elements that are either costly and/or rare in the earths crust (e.g., In, Ga, Te) or that present toxicity issues (e.g., Cd), thereby potentially limiting these technologies in terms of future cost reduction and production growth. In order to develop a photovoltaic technology that is truly compatible with terawatt deployment, it is desirable to consider material systems that employ less toxic and lower cost elements, while maintaining the advantages of the chalcopyrite and CdTe materials with respect to appropriate direct band gap tunability over the solar spectrum, high device performance (e.g., >10% power conversion efficiency) and compatibility with low-cost manufacturing. In this review, the development of kesterite-based Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin-film solar cells, in which the indium and gallium from CIGSSe are replaced by the readily available elements zinc and tin, will be reviewed. While vacuum-deposited devices have enabled optimization within the compositional phase space and yielded selenium-free CZTS device efficiencies of as high as 6.8%, more recently a liquid-based approach has been described that has enabled deposition of CZTSSe devices with power conversion efficiency of 9.7%, bringing the kesterite-based technology into a range of potential commercial interest. Electrical characterization studies on these high-performance CZTSSe cells reveal some of the key loss mechanisms (e.g., dominant interface recombination, high series resistance and low minority carrier lifetime) that limit the cell performance. Further elucidation of these mechanisms, as well as building an understanding of long-term device stability, are required to help propel this relatively new technology forward. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

2ZnSnSe 4 films and devices
Volume 101, Issue , June 2012, Pages 154-159
The use of vacuum co-evaporation to produce Cu 2ZnSnSe 4 photovoltaic devices with 9.15% total-area efficiency is described. These new results suggest that the early success of the atmospheric techniques for kesterite photovoltaics may be related to the ease with which one can control film composition and volatile phases, rather than a fundamental benefit of atmospheric conditions for film properties. The co-evaporation growth recipe is documented, as is the motivation for various features of the recipe. Characteristics of the resulting kesterite films and devices are shown in scanning electron micrographs, including photoluminescence, current-voltage, and quantum efficiency. Current-voltage curves demonstrate low series resistance without the light-dark cross-over seen in many devices in the literature. Band gap indicated by quantum efficiency and photoluminescence is roughly consistent with that expected from first principles calculation. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells: A comparative reviewMatthew Wright | Ashraf Uddin
Volume 107, Issue , December 2012, Pages 87-111
Organic materials have recently become of great interest for photovoltaic applications, due to their potential to utilise high throughput, solution phase processing, which will lead to low cost electricity production. Hybrid solar cells combine organic and inorganic materials with the aim of utilising the low cost cell production of organic photovoltaics (OPV) as well as obtaining other advantages, such as tuneable absorption spectra, from the inorganic component. Whilst hybrid solar cells have the potential to achieve high power conversion efficiencies (PCE), currently obtained efficiencies are quite low. The design of the inorganic material used as the electron acceptor in hybrid solar cells, particularly the electronic structure, is crucial to the performance of the device. There exists an optimal electronic structure design for an inorganic acceptor. To date, four major material types have been investigated, being cadmium compounds, silicon, metal oxide nanoparticles and low band gap nanoparticles. Currently, Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) quantum dots represent the state of the art, yielding a PCE of greater than 4%. This review compares the electronic structure of these materials with the optimal design components of an inorganic material and also explores possible limitations to the PCE of these devices, such as nanomorphology control and nanoparticle surface chemistry. This report provides the reader with a concise synthesis of the current state of the art for bulk heterojunction organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells. Additionally, it highlights key research areas which require attention to allow for the commercialisation of this technology. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Development status of high-efficiency HIT solar cellsTakahiro Mishima | Mikio Taguchi | Hitoshi Sakata | Eiji Maruyama
Volume 95, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 18-21
This paper describes the development status of high-efficiency heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer (HIT) solar cells at SANYO Electric. Presently, the conversion efficiency of our standard HIT solar cell has reached a level of 23.0% for a practical size of (100.4 cm2) substrate. On the other hand, we have developed special technologies for effectively using thinner substrates for HIT solar cells. Surprisingly, we have achieved a quite high open circuit voltage (Voc) of 743 mV, and a high conversion efficiency of 22.8% using only a 98-μm-thick substrate. A 98-μm-thick cell also exhibits a good temperature coefficient, and allows the thickness of the substrate to be reduced by more than 50% while maintaining its efficiency. These results suggest that the HIT solar cell has the potential to further improve cost-performance. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Chemical composition dependence of morphological and optical properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films deposited by sol-gel sulfurization and Cu2ZnSnS4 thin film solar cell efficiencyKunihiko Tanaka | Yuki Fukui | Noriko Moritake | Hisao Uchiki
Volume 95, Issue 3, March 2011, Pages 838-842
The properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films deposited by sol-gel sulfurization were investigated as a function of the chemical composition of the sol-gel solutions used. The chemical composition ratio Cu/(ZnSn) of the sol-gel solution was varied from 0.73 to 1.00, while the ratio Zn/Sn was kept constant at 1.15. CZTS films deposited using sol-gel solutions with Cu/(ZnSn)<0.80 exhibited large grains. In addition, the band gaps of these Cu-poor CZTS thin films were blue shifted. Solar cells with the structure Al/ZnO:Al/CdS/CZTS/Mo/soda lime glass were fabricated under non-vacuum conditions. The solar cell with the CZTS layer deposited using the sol-gel solution with Cu/(ZnSn)=0.80 exhibited the highest conversion efficiency of 2.03%. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.
ITO-free flexible organic solar cells with printed current collecting gridsYulia Galagan | Jan Eric J.m. Rubingh | Ronn Andriessen | Chia Chen Fan | Paul W.m. Blom | Sjoerd C. Veenstra | Jan M. Kroon
Volume 95, Issue 5, May 2011, Pages 1339-1343
The presence of a transparent conductive electrode such as indium tin oxide (ITO) limits the reliability and cost price of organic photovoltaic devices as it is brittle and expensive. Moreover, the relative high sheet resistance of an ITO electrode on flexible substrates limits the maximum width of a single cell. We have developed an alternative ITO-free transparent anode, based on solution processed high conductive PEDOT:PSS in combination with a printed current collecting grid. The screen printed silver grid demonstrates a typical sheet resistance of 1 Ω/□ with 6.48% surface coverage. The efficiency of a flexible device with an active area of 4 cm2 with such a grid is much higher than a similar device based on ITO. Furthermore, as this composite anode is solution-processed, it is a step forward towards low-cost large area processing. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Simple, fast and accurate two-diode model for photovoltaic modulesKashif Ishaque | Zainal Salam | Hamed Taheri
Volume 95, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 586-594
This paper proposes an improved modeling approach for the two-diode model of photovoltaic (PV) module. The main contribution of this work is the simplification of the current equation, in which only four parameters are required, compared to six or more in the previously developed two-diode models. Furthermore the values of the series and parallel resistances are computed using a simple and fast iterative method. To validate the accuracy of the proposed model, six PV modules of different types (multi-crystalline, mono-crystalline and thin-film) from various manufacturers are tested. The performance of the model is evaluated against the popular single diode models. It is found that the proposed model is superior when subjected to irradiance and temperature variations. In particular the model matches very accurately for all important points of the IV curves, i.e. the peak power, short-circuit current and open circuit voltage. The modeling method is useful for PV power converter designers and circuit simulator developers who require simple, fast yet accurate model for the PV module. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG)/diatomite composite as a novel form-stable phase change material for thermal energy storageSedat Karaman | Ali Karaipekli | Ahmet Sar | Alper Biçer
Volume 95, Issue 7, July 2011, Pages 1647-1653
This paper deals with the preparation, characterization, and determination of thermal energy storage properties of polyethylene glycol (PEG)/diatomite composite as a novel form-stable composite phase change material (PCM). The composite PCM was prepared by incorporating PEG in the pores of diatomite. The PEG could be retained by 50 wt% into pores of the diatomite without the leakage of melted PEG from the composite. The composite PCM was characterized by using SEM and FT-IR analysis technique. Thermal properties of the composite PCM were determined by DSC analysis. DSC results showed that the melting temperature and latent heat of the composite PCM are 27.70 °C and 87.09 J/g, respectively. Thermal cycling test was conducted to determine the thermal reliability of the composite PCM and the results showed that the composite PCM had good thermal reliability and chemical stability. TG analysis showed that the impregnated PEG into the diatomite had good thermal stability. Thermal conductivity of the composite PCM was improved by adding expanded graphite in different mass fractions. Thermal energy storage performance of the composite PCM was also tested. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
The crystal structure of kesterite type compounds: A neutron and X-ray diffraction studySusan Schorr
Volume 95, Issue 6, June 2011, Pages 1482-1488
The atomic structure of the potential photovoltaic materials Cu 2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) and Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) is discussed on the basis of a structural analysis of neutron powder diffraction data refined by the Rietveld analysis. Both compounds were found to crystallize in the kesterite type structure, but with a disorder within the CuZn layers at z=1/4 and 3/4. The latter causes CuZn and ZnCu anti-site defects, whose concentration depends on the sample growth conditions. The temperature dependent structural phase transition in CZTS was studied by in-situ high temperature diffraction experiments using high energy synchrotron X-rays. The transition from the tetragonal kesterite to the cubic sphalerite type structure is discussed by means of the interplay of increasing and decreasing cationanioncation bond angles in the coordination tetrahedra, reflected by the shift of the anion atomic coordinates to more ideal (x and y) or non-ideal (z) values. This striking behavior may be connected with frustrations that occur due to the triangular geometry of the coordination tetrahedra. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
A life cycle analysis of polymer solar cell modules prepared using roll-to-roll methods under ambient conditionsNieves Espinosa | Rafael García-Valverde | Antonio Urbina | Frederik C. Krebs
Volume 95, Issue 5, May 2011, Pages 1293-1302
A life cycle analysis was performed on a full roll-to-roll coating procedure used for the manufacture of flexible polymer solar cell modules. The process known as ProcessOne employs a polyester substrate with a sputtered layer of the transparent conductor indium-tin-oxide (ITO). The ITO film was processed into the required pattern using a full roll-to-roll process, employing screen printing of an etch resist and then applying etching, stripping, washing and drying procedures. The three subsequent layers; ZnO, P3HT:PCBM and PEDOT:PSS were slot-die coated and the silver back electrode was screen printed. Finally the polymer solar modules were encapsulated, using a polyester barrier material. All operations except the application of ITO were carried out under ambient conditions. The life cycle analysis delivered a material inventory of the full process for a module production, and an accountability of the energy embedded both in the input materials and in the production processes. Finally, upon assumption of power conversion efficiencies and lifetime for the modules, a calculation of energy pay-back time allowed us to compare this roll-to-roll manufacturing with other organic and hybrid photovoltaic technologies. The results showed that an Energy Pay-Back Time (EPBT) of 2.02 years can be achieved for an organic solar module of 2% efficiency, which could be reduced to 1.35 years, if the efficiency was 3%. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Recent development of the inverted configuration organic solar cellsFujun Zhang | Xiaowei Xu | Weihua Tang | Jian Zhang | Zuliang Zhuo | Jian Wang | Jin Wang | Zheng Xu | Yongsheng Wang
Volume 95, Issue 7, July 2011, Pages 1785-1799
Recent years, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of normal configuration organic solar cells (OSCs) has obtained rapid progress to reach more than 6% under standard illumination, which is reasonable value for the commercial criterion. More and more research attention has been paid on the stability and lifetime of OSCs. A novel structural OSCs with high work function metal or metal oxide as the top electrode and low work function metal as the bottom anode is proposed and named as inverted configuration OSCs. The inverted configuration OSCs with high work function metal as top cathode could improve OSCss lifetime, i.e., protecting cells from the damage by oxygen and moisture in air. Furthermore, the inverted configuration OSCs is the appealing alternative to the conventional regular structure due to the inherent vertical phase separation in the polymer active layers and high stability or long device lifetime. The inverted configuration OSCs have not only achieved an impressive PCE of 4.4%, but also exhibited an exceptional device lifetime without encapsulation. In this review article, the recent developments and vital researches on the inverted configuration OSCs are summarized. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Innovation in concentrated solar powerDavid Barlev | Ruxandra Vidu | Pieter Stroeve
Volume 95, Issue 10, October 2011, Pages 2703-2725
This work focuses on innovation in CSP technologies over the last decade. A multitude of advancements has been developed during this period, as the topic of concentrated solar power is becoming more mainstream. Improvements have been made in reflector and collector design and materials, heat absorption and transport, power production and thermal storage. Many applications that can be integrated with CSP regimes to conserve (and sometimes produce) electricity have been suggested and implemented, keeping in mind the environmental benefits granted by limited fossil fuel usage. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Review of physical vapor deposited (PVD) spectrally selective coatings for mid- and high-temperature solar thermal applicationsN. Selvakumar | Harish C. Barshilia
Volume 98, Issue , March 2012, Pages 1-23
Solar energy is the most abundant source of renewable energy. The direct method of harnessing solar energy is the solar thermal conversion method using solar absorbers. The absorbers are coated with solar selective coatings with high absorptance and low thermal emittance. Spectrally selective coatings which are stable up to temperatures ≤300°C (in air and vacuum) have been developed in the past. These coatings are mainly deposited from wet chemical routes (e.g., electrodeposition) and have been reviewed widely in the literature. Because of the environmental issues as well as low thermal stability of these wet chemical deposited coatings, researchers all over the world started looking for other alternative routes such as physical vapor deposited (PVD) coatings. A great deal of research has been carried out since 1990s to develop PVD coatings for both mid- and high-temperature applications. The mid-temperature coatings are used mainly for solar hot water and industrial process heat applications, whereas, the high-temperature absorber coatings are used in concentrating solar power systems for solar thermal power generation. It is well recognized that in order to increase the efficiency of solar thermal power plants, solar selective coatings with high thermal stability are required. In recent years, significant efforts have been made in the field of solar selective coatings to achieve high solar absorptance and low thermal emittance at higher temperatures (T≥400°C). Transition metal based cermets have emerged as novel high temperature solar selective coatings, which are currently being used for solar thermal power plants for electricity generation. Solar selective coatings based on transition metal nitrides, oxides and oxynitrides also hold great potential for high-temperature applications because of their excellent mechanical and optical properties, which are yet to be commercialized. In this review, we present the state-of-the-art of the physical vapor deposited solar selective coatings used for solar thermal applications with an emphasis on sputter deposited coatings for high-temperature applications. A detailed survey, covering the period 1970-present, has been made for the PVD deposited solar selective coatings with high absorptance and low emittance. This review article also describes in detail about the commercially available PVD coatings for flat-plate/evacuated tube collectors and solar thermal power generation applications. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Fenestration of today and tomorrow: A state-of-the-art review and future research opportunitiesBjørn Petter Jelle | Andrew Hynd | Arild Gustavsen | Dariush Arasteh | Howdy Goudey | Robert Hart
Volume 96, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 1-28
Fenestration of today is continuously being developed into the fenestration of tomorrow, hence offering a steadily increase of daylight and solar energy utilization and control, and at the same time providing a necessary climate screen with a satisfactory thermal comfort. Within this work a state-of-the-art market review of the best performing fenestration products has been carried out, along with an overview of possible future research opportunities for the fenestration industry. The focus of the market review was low thermal transmittance (U-value). The lowest centre-of-glass Ug-values found was 0.28 and 0.30 W/m2 K, which was from a suspended coating glazing product and an aerogel glazing product, respectively. However, the majority of high performance products found were triple glazed. The lowest frame U-value was 0.61 W/m2 K. Vacuum glazing, smart windows, solar cell glazing, window frames, self-cleaning glazing, low-emissivity coatings and spacers were also reviewed, thus also representing possibilities for controlling and harvesting the solar radiation energy. Currently, vacuum glazing, new spacer materials and solutions, electrochromic windows and aerogel glazing seem to have the largest potential for improving the thermal performance and daylight and solar properties in fenestration products. Aerogel glazing has the lowest potential U-values, ∼0.1 W/m2 K, but requires further work to improve the visible transmittance. Electrochromic vaccum glazing and evacuated aerogel glazing are two vacuum-related solutions, which have a large potential. There may also be opportunities for completely new material innovations, which could revolutionize the fenestration industry. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

2ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) absorber layer using different stacking orders in precursor thin films
Volume 95, Issue 12, December 2011, Pages 3202-3206
Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films were deposited by sputtering on glass substrates using stacked precursors. The stacked precursor thin films were prepared from Cu, SnS2 and ZnS targets at room temperature with different stacking orders of Cu/SnS2/ZnS/glass (A), ZnS/Cu/SnS2/glass (B) and SnS2/ZnS/Cu/glass (C). The stacked precursor thin films were sulfurized using a tubular rapid thermal annealing system in a mixed N2 (95%)H2S (5%) atmosphere at 550 °C for 10 min. The effects of the stacking order in the precursor thin films on the structural, morphological, chemical, electrical and optical properties of the CZTS thin films were investigated. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies showed that the annealed CZTS thin film using a stacking order A had a single kesterite crystal structure without secondary phases, whereas stacking orders B and C have a kesterite phase with secondary phases, such as Cu2-xS, SnS 2 and SnS. The annealed CZTS thin film using stacking order A showed a very dense morphology without voids. On the other hand, the annealed CZTS thin films using stacking orders B and C contained the volcano shape voids (B) and Sn-based secondary phases (C) on the surface of the annealed thin films. The direct band gap energies of the CZTS thin films were approximately 1.45 eV (A), 1.35 eV (B) and 1.1 eV (C). © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Environmental and economic assessment of ITO-free electrodes for organic solar cellsChristopher J M Emmott | Antonio Urbina | Jenny Nelson
Volume 97, Issue , February 2012, Pages 14-21
The use of IndiumTin Oxide (ITO) as a transparent conductor in organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices has been shown to present a bottleneck for the technology due to the use of the rare metal Indium and also the energy intensive manufacturing processes required and subsequent high economic cost. This study discusses some of the alternative materials, which are being considered for use as transparent conductors in OPV modules. A life cycle and cost analysis of a number of the most promising ITO-free transparent conductors, namely: high conductivity PEDOT:PSS; a silver grid embedded in PEDOT:PSS; silver nanowires; single walled carbon nanotubes are completed in this study. The results show that there is great potential for reducing both the energy pay-back time and the cost of OPV modules by replacing ITO with an alternative transparent conductor. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
Building integrated photovoltaic products: A state-of-the-art review and future research opportunitiesBjørn Petter Jelle | Christer Breivik | Hilde Drolsum Røkenes
Volume 100, Issue , January 2012, Pages 69-96
Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) are photovoltaic (PV) modules integrated into the building envelope and hence also replacing traditional parts of the building envelope, e.g. the roofing. In this context, the BIPVs integration with the building envelope limits the costs by serving dual purposes. BIPVs have a great advantage compared to non-integrated systems because there is neither need for allocation of land nor stand-alone PV systems. This study seeks to outline various commercially available approaches to BIPVs and thus provides a state-of-the-art review. In addition, possible future research opportunities are explored. The various categories of BIPVs may be divided into photovoltaic foils, photovoltaic tiles, photovoltaic modules and solar cell glazings. Silicon materials are the most commonly used, and a distinction is made between wafer-based technologies and thin-film technologies. In addition, various non-silicon materials are available. The main options for building integration of PV cells are on sloped roofs, flat roofs and facades. The evaluation of the different BIPV products involves, among others, properties such as solar cell efficiency, open circuit voltage, short circuit current, maximum effect and fill factor. It is expected that the BIPV systems will improve in the years to come, regarding both device and manufacturing efficiency. The future seems very promising in the BIPV industry, both concerning new technologies, different solutions and the variety of BIPV options. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Enhancing the performance of CZTSSe solar cells with Ge alloyingQijie Guo | Grayson M. Ford | Wei Chang Yang | Charles J. Hages | Hugh W. Hillhouse | Rakesh Agrawal
Volume 105, Issue , October 2012, Pages 132-136
The ability to alloy Cu 2ZnSn(S,Se) 4 with Ge provides a unique ability to band-gap engineer the absorber film by controlling the relative cation ratios. In here, a preliminary study on adjusting the Ge to Sn ratio is shown to significantly improve the device performance of CZTSSe thin film solar cells. CZTGeSSe solar cell with total area power conversion efficiency as high as 8.4% has been realized using a nanocrystal-based thin film deposition process. The selenized CZTGeSSe thin film exhibits a bi-layer structure where the thin sintered large-grain layer could be responsible for the poor red-response in external quantum efficiency of the resulting solar cell. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Comparative study of Cu2ZnSnS4 film growthHyesun Yoo | Junho Kim
Volume 95, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 239-244
We fabricated Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films using two different methods, spray pyrolysis and sulfurization of CuZnSn metallic films. Spray pyrolysis was carried out under air ambient with modified ultrasonic spray system. Sulfurizations of metallic CuZnSn films were done for stacked metallic films, Cu/Sn/Zn/glass, Cu/Sn/Cu/Zn/glass and Sn/Cu/Zn/glass, which were prepared by sputtering method in high vacuum chamber. The sprayed films were not observed to be grown well with good crystallinity, compared with CZTS films made by sulfurization of stacked metallic films. However, it was found that application of additional sulfurization to sprayed CZTS films induced great improvement of crystallinity to the level of the sulfurized metallic films. This implicates that spray pyrolysis with additional sulfurization is a good method for fabrication of CZTS films, especially as a low-cost fabrication technique. All CZTS films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and Raman spectroscopy measurements. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Structure, composition and optical properties of Cu 2ZnSnS 4 thin films deposited by Pulsed Laser Deposition methodLin Sun | Jun He | Hui Kong | Fangyu Yue | Pingxiong Yang | Junhao Chu
Volume 95, Issue 10, October 2011, Pages 2907-2913
Polycrystalline Cu 2ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) thin films have been directly deposited on heating Mo-coated glass substrates by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) method. The results of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) indicate that these CZTS thin films are Cu-rich and S-poor. The combination of X-ray diffraction (XRD) results and Raman spectroscopy reveals that these thin films exhibit strong preferential orientation of grains along [1 1 2] direction and small Cu 2-xS phase easily exists in CZTS thin films. The lattice parameters and grain sizes have been examined based on XRD patterns and Atom Force Microscopy (AFM). The band gap (E g) of CZTS thin films, which are determined by reflection spectroscopy varies from 1.53 to 1.98 eV, depending on substrate temperature (T sub). The optical absorption coefficient of CZTS thin film (T sub=450 °C) measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) is above 10 4 cm -1. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A large number of flexible polymer solar modules comprising 16 serially connected individual cells was prepared at the experimental workshop at Risø DTU. The photoactive layer was prepared from several varieties of P3HT (Merck, Plextronics, BASF and Risø DTU) and two varieties of ZnO (nanoparticulate, thin film) were employed as electron transport layers. The devices were all tested at Risø DTU and the functional devices were subjected to an inter-laboratory study involving the performance and the stability of modules over time in the dark, under light soaking and outdoor conditions. 24 laboratories from 10 countries and across four different continents were involved in the studies. The reported results allowed for analysis of the variability between different groups in performing lifetime studies as well as performing a comparison of different testing procedures. These studies constitute the first steps toward establishing standard procedures for an OPV lifetime characterization. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
The experimental exploration of carbon nanofiber and carbon nanotube additives on thermal behavior of phase change materialsYanbin Cui | Caihong Liu | Shan Hu | Xun Yu
Volume 95, Issue 4, April 2011, Pages 1208-1212
In this study, thermal properties of carbon nanofiber (CNF) and carbon nanotube (CNT) filled phase change materials (soy wax and paraffin wax) were studied experimentally, aiming to improve their thermal conductivities. The composite phase change materials (PCMs) were prepared by the stirring of CNF or CNT in liquid wax at 60 °C, with CNF and CNT doping levels of 1, 2, 5, and 10 wt%. The experimental results show that the thermal conductivity of composite PCMs increases as CNF or CNT loading contents. Both CNF and CNT can improve the thermal conductivity of the composite, while CNF is shown to be more effective than CNT as the thermal conductive filler because of its better dispersion in the matrix. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Influence of precursor sulfur content on film formation and compositional changes in CuC. Platzer-Björkman | J. Scragg | H. Flammersberger | T. Kubart | M. Edoff
2ZnSnS 4 films and solar cells
Volume 98, Issue , March 2012, Pages 110-117
Cu 2ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) thin films are made using sulfurisation of co-sputtered metallic and sulfur-containing precursor films. The CZTS grain size is larger for metallic precursors than for sulfur-containing precursors while more uniform films with fewer voids are obtained in the latter case. During sulfurisation of precursors with tin-excess in closed quartz ampoules, tin is lost from the films with greater losses from metallic precursors. We suggest that the reduced grain size and the reduced tin-loss for sulfur-containing precursors can be explained by a larger number of CZTS nuclei being formed early in the sulfurisation process. In sulfur containing precursors with large tin excess, SnS 2 is observed together with CZTS, and a tin-rich bottom layer segregates. This indicates that tin-diffusion in CZTS is relatively slow. Solar cell devices made for a range of compositions at and around stoichiometric CZTS show highest efficiencies in two compositional groups; Zn-rich and Cu-poor/Sn-rich, while close to stoichiometric material gives poor devices. Devices including the tin-rich bottom layer show efficiencies of up to 3.2%. The role of secondary phases such as ZnS and SnS 2 on device performance is discussed. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

diff -u: What's New in Kernel Development
Once in a while someone points out a POSIX violation in Linux. Often the answer is to fix the violation, but sometimes Linus Torvalds decides that the POSIX behavior is broken, in which case they keep the Linux behavior, but they might build an additional POSIX compatibility layer, even if that layer is slower and less efficient.
This time, Michael Kerrisk reported a POSIX violation that affected file operations. Apparently, reading and writing to files during multithreaded operations could hit race conditions and overwrite each other's changes.
There was some discussion over whether this was really a violation of POSIX, but ultimately, who cares? Data clobbering is bad. After Michael posted some code to reproduce the problem, the conversation focused on what to do to fix it. But Michael did make an argument that "Linux isn't consistent with UNIX since early times. (E.g., page 191 of the 1992 edition of Stevens APUE discusses the sharing of the file offset between the parent and child after fork(). Although Stevens didn't explicitly spell out the atomicity guarantee, the discussion there would be a bit nonsensical without the presumption of that guarantee.)"
Al Viro joined Linus in trying to come up with a fix. Linus tried introducing a simple mutex to lock files so that write operations couldn't clobber each other, and Al offered his own refinements that improved on Linus' patch.
At one point, Linus explained the history of the bug itself. Apparently, once upon a time the file pointer, which told the system where to write into the file, had been locked in a semaphore so only one process could do anything to it at a time. But, they took it out of the semaphore in order to accommodate device files and other non-regular files that ran into race conditions when users were barred from writing to them whenever they pleased.
That was what introduced the bug. At the time, it slipped through undetected, because that actual reading and writing to regular files was still handled atomically by the kernel. It was only the file pointer itself that could get out of sync. And, because high-speed threaded file operations are a pretty rare need, it took a long time for anyone to run into the problem and report it.
An interesting little detail is that, while Linus and Al were hunting for a fix, Al at one point complained that the approach Linus was taking wouldn't support certain architectures, including ARM and PowerPC. Linus' response was, "I doubt it's worth caring about. [...] If the ARM/PPC people end up caring, they could add the struct-return support to gcc."
It's always interesting to see how corner cases crop up and get dealt with. In some cases, part of the fix has to happen in the kernel, part in GCC and part elsewhere. In this particular instance, Al felt the whole thing could be done in the kernel, and he was inspired to write his own version of the patch, which Linus accepted.
Andi Kleen wanted to add low-level CPU event support to perf. The problem was that there could be tons of low-level events, and it varied widely from CPU to CPU. Even storing the possible events in memory for all CPUs would significantly increase the kernel's running size. So, hard-coding this information into the kernel would be problematic.
He pointed out that the OProfile tool relied on publicly available lists of these events, though he said the OProfile developers didn't always keep their lists up to date with the latest available versions.
To solve these issues, Andi submitted a patch that allowed perf to identify which event-list was needed for the particular CPU on the given system, and automatically download the latest version of that list from its home location. Then perf could interpret the list and analyze the events, without overburdening the kernel.
There was various feedback to Andi's code, mostly to do with which directory should house the event-lists, and what the filenames should be called. The behavior of the code itself seemed to get a good reception. One detail that may turn out to be more controversial than the others was Andi's decision to download the lists to a subdirectory of the user's own home directory. Andi said that otherwise users might be encouraged to download the event-lists as the root user, which would be bad security practice.
Sasha Levin recently posted a script to translate the hexadecimal offsets from stack dumps into meaningful line numbers that pointed into the kernel's source files. So something like "ffffffff811f0ec8" might be translated into "fs/proc/generic.c:445".
However, it turned out that Linus Torvalds was planning to remove the hex offsets from the stack dumps for exactly the reason that they were unreadable. So Sasha's code was about to go out of date.
They went back and forth a bit on it. At first Sasha decided to rely on data stored in the System.map file to compensate, but Linus pointed out that some people, including him, didn't keep their System.map file around. Linus recommended using /usr/bin/nm to extract the symbols from the compiled kernel files.
So, it seems as though Sasha's script may actually provide meaningful file and line numbers for debugging stack dumps, assuming the stack dumps provide enough information to do the calculations.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

In Dec.2009 my account was charged $79 which placed it in overdraft. I had called the bank to dispute it. In January the account reflected a zero balance at which time I assumed all was good and the charges were reversed.
Today I am told by US Bank that the charges were not reversed and it was sent to Delmarva for collection in January 2010. My question now is why is Delmarva just now contacting me 15 months later? The bank won't do anything, and Delmarva won't do anything. What can I do? Ther are no contact numbers for this rediculous company. It's fraud!

Agricultural Census
What we do
Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of economy of the Republic of Armenia. The share of the value added of agriculture in total GDP varied between 16 and 20 percent during the recent years, and the number of the persons employed in this sector is about 492,000 (of which 56.2 percent are female and 43.8 percent are male) and accounts for about 45 percent of the total employed population.
This implies having an accurate agricultural statistical data for planning and monitoring policies in the sphere of agriculture and rural development. Agricultural census is practically the only way of obtaining data about the structure of agriculture at the lowest administrative levels (like villages) and for providing sound benchmark data on the situation and role of agriculture in Armenia for evidence-based policy making.
Since independence Armenia has not conducted any agricultural census and thus there is no existing way of analyzing structure of agriculture at lowest administrative levels, which seriously impedes targeting agricultural and rural development programs.
UNDP supports the first ever agricultural census in the country by:
Providing technical assistance and building capacities of national institutions, as well as bridging the financial gap for the pilot census.

Good evening,
Thanks to the devs for a great e-commerce platform!
I ran into a tiny but legally significant issue:
Here in Finland the VAT of a purchase is added to the combination of the product price + the shipping price. Additionally, we have various VAT bases.
Should I want to sell a product costing 10 € ( incl. VAT 24 %) with a shipping cost of 5 € (incl. VAT 24 %), the VAT of the sale would be (15 € / 1,24 * 0,24)= 2,90 €.
My intention and will would be to set a fixed shipping cost from which the VAT or VATs would be calculated from. As of now WooCommerce calculates it, depenging on the shipping VAT option, only from the product price (shipping not VAT-taxable) OR adds the VAT 24 % on top of the fixed 5 € shipping sum (raising the shipping cost to 6,20 € incl. VAT).
The problem is that there's no option to set a fixed sum/sums from which a VAT sum/sums would be calculated. This is even more important when ordering products with various VAT-bases (i.e. ordering a product with VAT24% and a product with VAT10%).
Any help or guidance, please?

I took the computer to a mac center and they told me the harddrive was bad. So when i got home i put my backup harddrive in to test the computer and I still had the same problems with the computer not working. So after getting fed up with the computer I notified Richard Wilson of Macdealz from Ebay that I was shipping the computer back.
These are emails from Richard himself:
Odd for a hard drive to go bad. If that is all it is then you should send the hard drive back for replacement. There is a 30 day warranty on all the hardware, but sending the whole computer back is obviously a lot more expensive (and risky since packing is a challenge). Let me know what you want to do.
Thanks, Richard / MacDealz
Oh, if your old computer is a G5 then you can just put in the old hard drive an go back to work; if not, then send back the hard drive.
Thanks, Richard / macdealz
I'm sorry your computer didn't work the way we expected it to. I can understand your feeling about the computer.
I test everything I ship before sending. I boot the computers numerous times during the process of getting them ready for shipping. Your computer was started up to the hard and the start screen prior to shipping; so, whatever happened happened after that. Unfortunately, I don't have any more of these computers right now. Sending it back for a refund is a possibility, but not likely the best one for either of us. This is particularly not the best if the problem is just an easily replaces hard drive.
Let me know what you think.
My apologies for the problem.
Thanks, Richard / MacDealz
Look down, scroll down, to the bottom of this email for the address.
I just bought another one of these G5s, btw.
Thanks, Richard / MacDealz
I Spend $447 on the computer plus an additional $40+ dollars on shipping the computer back to Richard wilson of Macdealz from Ebay. Once he received the computer he told me the computer had been damaged during shipping. He said that the harddrive was damaged and the case was damaged from not being packed correctly which is not the case here. After talking to him for a good 10 minute he wasn't wanting to give me a new computer or refund like he stated in the email response we had with each other.
Luckly, I've contacted Ebay and I have disputed the wrong doing of Mr. Wilson of Macdealz. Hopefully this issue will be resolved in a timely manner.
I suggest not buying from Richard Wilson of Macdealz on Ebay.

CHE Partners on why they value our work
Prenatal exposures to environmental chemicals have been associated with a wide range of diseases, both in the neonatal period and later in life. Animal and epidemiological studies are discovering links between endocrine disrupting chemicals and infertility. While research is uncovering the connections between exposures to environmental contaminants and reproductive health problems, health care providers are beginning to incorporate this information into clinical care.On November 18, 2011 the CHE Fertility Working Group hosted this informative discussion about strategies for incorporating environmental health information into clinical care. Katie Huffling, CNM reviewed the need for screening patients for environmental exposures, and presented a prenatal environmental screening tool she created for her clients. Sandy Worthington, WHNP-BC, CNM, discussed the Green Choices Project she developed at the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Dr. Kirtly Parker Jones presented information on counseling patients about environmental threats to fertility.

She has participated in a number of research projects and is the author or coauthor of numerous journal articles on gynecological topics and fertility. In addition, Dr. Jones maintains a clinical practice at the Utah Center for Reproductive Medicine.
Katie Huffling, RN, CNM, MS Ms. Huffling is a Certified Nurse-Midwife and the Program Coordinator for the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments at the University of Maryland School of Nursing. She has authored of a number of peer-reviewed articles on environmental health issues as they relate to pregnancy. She has also created an assessment tool that can be used by clinicians to assess for environmental exposures of pregnant women and prompts the clinician to provide anticipatory guidance. In addition, Ms. Huffling is involved in a project that integrates electronic media such as videos, podcasts, and smart phone applications into an online resource called EnviRN.
Sandy Worthington MSN, WHNP-BC, CNMMs. Worthington is a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, Certified Nurse-Midwife, and the Director of Medical Continuing Education and Special Projects in the Medical Division of the national office of Planned Parenthood.

We have all been waiting to hear what Kim Fields thoughts were on filming with RHOA this season. By the way, contrary to what you may have heard, filming is still ongoing, the Bravo entourage was at Phaedra's house again today. They were also there last week to film a scene about how Phaedra spends so much time with her boys. As the fatherless clan made pizza, Phaedra allegedly remarked about her new "round pan" as if it was an object she had never seen before. But I digress.
We've all been wondering what if any team Kim would land on. I'm still waiting for my spy at Demetria's single release party to get back with me with all the tea from that. I may just give up and post some of those photos here. Anyway, all signs so far have pointed to Kim riding the fence as skillfully as an Olympic equestrian rides a horse. But in the latest interview with her by Tanya Young Williams published by Huffington Post Kim says she is closest to Phaedra because they both have "faith at their core." I'm not going to go there today, but that time will come, probably in 2016.
Kim says she will keep it classy this season. She even up and left Miami when all that ratchet sobbing on the floor stuff started to happen. She says that Bravo promised her that she could focus on her solid family life and they have been good about letting her do that. Interesting. Overall, Kim comes across as very confident. Confident right up to the point of being arrogant without actually crossing the line. Continue reading

I'm trying your plugin in a site with WP-FB AutoConnect.
Everything works like a charm, but I find a bit hard to explain to new users (those who use FB to register on this site, instead of WP registration) that they have to:
- Click on "Login with FB" in a sidebar widget;
- Authorize my custom application in the following popup
- once registered, visit the Wordbooker options page and click on "Connect with Facebook"
- Authorize Wordbooker application in the new popup
- get to the front page and start writing their content.
Is there a way to join the two authorizations into one? Ideally, one would create his own custom application and use the API secret and key for Wordbooker, so the user who registers using FB connect would authorize posting content to his/her wall at the same time.

Work is underway on Brooklands Gardens
Published by Becki Ord for Seven Locks Housing in Housing and also in Communities
Key partners in the multi-million pound development Brooklands Gardens celebrate the start on site of Seven Locks Housing's flagship extra care scheme.
SEVEN Locks Housing's multi-million pound flagship older person's housing development Brooklands Gardens is set to take a major step forward this week (27 June) with work starting on site.
John Piggott, tenant representative on the Brooklands Project Team, will herald that work has officially got underway at a "Start on Site" ceremony on Friday 27 June. Seven Locks Housing's Executive Director Deborah Bennett will be joined by Brooklands Gardens' residents, local councillors and Acclaim Housing's board members.
Seven Locks Housing is working with Borras Construction Ltd to remodel the 50 bedroomed sheltered Housing scheme off Walcot Road in Market Harborough in to a 60 bedroomed state-of-the-art facility for older people.
The mix of one and two bedroom flats will be transformed into airy, light filled apartments with large windows, balconies and patio doors. They will be modernised with new kitchens, bathrooms and decorated in a contemporary style.
Facilities at Brooklands Gardens will be improved with new rooms for arts and crafts, fitness, entertainment and health and well-being. A new restaurant, entrance and private courtyard garden will be created for residents to entertain and enjoy.
Market Harborough-based Seven Locks Housing, which is part of the Acclaim Housing Group, took over the ownership of the building from the Howard Watson Symington Memorial Trust in February last year, having managed the scheme since 2007.
The project, which will be the first significant investment that Brooklands Gardens has received in the last 30 years, will ensure that the tenants who live there enjoy the same modern standard of homes and facilities that Seven Locks Housing strives to provide for all of its tenants.
The plans to modernise Brooklands Gardens, which were approved by Harborough District Council earlier this year, were developed in close consultation with residents who live at the scheme and the staff who work there.
Deborah Bennett said: "We are delighted to reach such a major milestone in the redevelopment of Brooklands Gardens as work starts on site.
"I'm proud that Seven Locks Housing has been able to provide the funding with support from Leicestershire County Council, and bring this exciting proposal to modernise Brooklands Gardens forward. Today marks the start of the transformation of Brooklands Gardens into our flagship older persons' scheme which is due to be finished in autumn next year."
Work will now take place in two stages, allowing residents from half of the building being renovated to move into the other half temporarily. Residents will be kept informed at every stage of the process.
