(author)Recently perovskite/crystalline Si (cSi) tandem cells draw considerable attention because their high efficiency can reduce the levelized cost of electricity and increase the power density of photovoltaics (PVs) to accelerate the energy transition. While the theoretical limits for tandem cells are well known, the practical limits are less clear....article 2022

Yamaguchi, S. (author), van Aken, B.B. (author), Stodolny, M.K. (author), Loffler, J. (author), Masuda, A. (author), Ohdaira, K. (author)System voltages can cause significant degradation in photovoltaic modules. Polarization-type potential-induced degradation (PID) is accompanied by decreases in the short-circuit current density and the open-circuit voltage. The system voltage causes a polarization and surface charge accumulation, increasing the interface recombination. The...article 2021

(author), de Wolf, S. (author), Morales-Masis, M. (author)Sputtered transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are widely accepted transparent electrodes for several types of high-efficiency solar cells. However, the different sputtering yield of atoms makes stoichiometric transfer of target material challenging for multi-compounds. Additionally, the high kinetic energies of the arriving species may damage...article 2021

van Leeuwen, H.C. (author), Roelofs, D. (author), Corver, J. (author), Hensbergen, P. (author)Pro-Pro-endopeptidases (PPEP, EC 3.4.24.89) are secreted, zinc metalloproteases that have the unusual capacity to cleave a peptide bond between two prolines, a bond that is generally less sensitive to proteolytic cleavage. Two well studied members of the family are PPEP-1 and PPEP-2, produced by Clostridioides difficile, a human pathogen, and...article 2021
