Investigation of solar cell carrier lifetime using photoconductance lifetime measurements by Sng, Joseph Ding Wen

“…The results obtained show that among the three transition metal oxides, the Si wafer passivated with MoOx has the highest lifetime of 69.6 μs and lowest surface recombination velocity of 464.95 cm/s. The long lifetime achieved through the passivation is important for realizing good efficiency for the Si/TMO heterojunction solar cell. …”
