Zinc oxide-doped indium oxide (IZO): an amorphous transparent conducting oxide for use in tandem solar cells

Zinc oxide-doped indium oxide (IZO) is an amorphous transparent conducting oxide (TCO) exhibiting excellent properties for use in tandem solar cells. Similar to high mobility TCOs, it has a reduced absorption of near IR photons leading to an increased transmission to the bottom cell in a tandem stac...
