摘要
Cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar cell is one of the most promising thin-film solar cells due to its low cost, small temperature coefficient and excellent weak light performance. It is rapidly developed for industrialization, especially in the field of photovoltaic building integration. This review represented recent studies on the major breakthrough and industrialization for CdTe thin film solar cells modules. The basic structure and work principles of CdTe solar cells were briefly introduced, the latest research achievement of each functional layer was highlighted, and the future development and prospects of CdTe solar cells were also pointed out. © 2022, Editorial Department of Journal of the Chinese Ceramic Society.
