Synthesis and characterization of hybrid organic coating system to reduce thermal degradation of solar cells / Farah Khaleda Mohd Zaini

Thermal-decreasing hybrid organic coatings were developed for crystalline solar cells by using two types of binder systems; namely Aminopropyltriethoxysolution (APTES) / Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) binder system (labelled as B1) and Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) / nitric acid (HNO3) binder system...
