Abstract

This work evaluates the critical issues surrounding P1, P2, and P3 scribing for semi-transparent perovskite module integration. We find that P1 scribing procedures are well-translated from other thin-film technologies. P2 scribing is best performed with a mechanical scribe, but remains a source of series resistance. P3 scribing is found to cause an increase in scribing dead area and a potential degradation source.

Impact of Irradiation on Corrosion Performance of Hybrid Organic/Inorganic Coatings on Austenitic Stainless Steel

The effects of gamma radiation on the performance of two corrosion-resistant coatings applied to stainless-steel 304L (SS304L) surfaces are presented. Specifically, the ability of the coatings to mitigate corrosion of SS304L surfaces as a function of the dose received (0–1300 Mrad) and dose rate (176 compared to 1054 rad/s) is evaluated using electrochemical methods, spectroscopy, and microscopy. Coating A, an organic/inorganic hybrid coating consisting of a two-part silica ceramic component and a polymer linker was evaluated in comparison to Coating B, which utilized Coating A as a topcoat for a commercial, off-the-shelf, Zn-rich primer. Post irradiation, Coating A demonstrated some corrosion protection following exposure to low levels of gamma radiation, but coating degradation occurred with an increased exposure dose and resulted in isolated regions of corrosion initiation. For Coating B, greater corrosion resistance was observed compared to Coating A due to the sacrificial nature of the Zn at elevated doses of gamma radiation. No effect of the dose rate (for the single dose examined) was observed for either coating. It is proposed for Coating B that as the polymer coating thermally degrades above 250 °C (bond scission of the polymer occurs), the remaining Zinc layer adhered to the SS304L post-irradiation enables enhanced corrosion resistance as compared to Coating A, which displays solely polymer degradation. The results presented herein establish an understanding of coating behavior with radiation exposure, specifically the relationship between corrosion coating performance and radiation dose, and can inform ageing and lifetime management for various applications.

Photovoltaic Reliability Workshop (PVRW) 2024 Proceedings: Posters

NREL hosts an annual Photovoltaic Reliability Workshop (PVRW) so that solar technology experts can discuss current and future issues in PV reliability. Longer-lasting PV systems make lower-cost solar electricity and have less impact on the environment, human health, and natural resources. PVRW offers a combination of oral presentations, panel discussions with vigorous audience participation, and poster presentations. This document collects posters that were presented at PVRW 2024.
