Factors limiting the open-circuit voltage in microcrystalline silicon solar cells

In studying photovoltaic devices made with silicon thin films and considering them according to their grain size, it is curious that as the crystalline fraction increases, the open-circuit voltage (Voc) – rather than approaching that of the single-crystal case – shows a decline. To gain an insight i...
