Microscopic origins of performance losses in highly efficient Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin-film solar cells

Achieving higher efficiencies for thin-film solar cells always requires identification of the limiting factors. Here Krause et al. show that inhomogeneously distributed net doping or lifetime have little impact while recombination at grain boundaries is one of the main loss mechanisms for high perfo...
