From a carpet of nanorods to a thin film solar cell absorber within a few seconds ( Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie ) Research teams at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and at the University of Limerick, Ireland, have discovered a novel solid state reaction which lets kesterite grains grow within a few seconds and at relatively low temperatures. For this reaction, they exploit a transition from a metastable wurtzite compound in the form of nanorods to the ...
