Aluminum-doped zinc oxide glass coating for shielded space solar PV modules

South Korean researchers developed a process that allows the use of aluminum-doped zinc oxide film in radiation-shielding quartz glass. A demonstration in III-V solar photovoltaic space modules showed it significantly enhanced shielding effect of bare quartz glass.A South Korean research team led by Korea Electronic Technology Institute (KETI) reported that quartz glass with a thermally annealed aluminum-doped zinc oxide film can provide electron radiation shielding for III-V space photovoltaic modules. "Our work demonstrates that aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO)-coated quartz glass can serve as ...
