Presentation Profile

The development of renewable energy sources is critical to reduce carbon emissions. Photovoltaic (PV) technology harnesses the energy from the sun and generates electrical power with zero CO2 emissions. Photovoltaic cells are typically composed of n-type (doped with phosphorus, introducing an additional electron) and p-type solar materials (doped with boron, removing an electron). Consequently, it is crucial to carefully determine the concentration of impurities during production to optimize its efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

This presentation will demonstrate a fast, robust, and accurate method for the analysis of bulk and trace elements in photovoltaic grade silicon using triple quadrupole ICP-MS.
