A flexible solid-state multiple-stacked planar lithium-ion battery module is provided. It comprises a number of lithium-ion battery groups that consist of back-to-back multiple-stacked electrochemical cells interconnected in parallel. Solid electrolytes are used in all of electrochemical cells. The battery groups are packed and sealed with flexible polymeric materials. The battery groups are combined into some battery sections. The positive and negative terminals of every battery group are connected to corresponding side terminals which are controlled with side switches. The positive terminals of the first battery groups in every battery section and the negative terminals of the last battery groups in every battery section are further connected to a positive rotary switch and a negative rotary switch, respectively. With these different switches and circuit control boxes, input and output voltages and currents of the battery module can be freely adjusted and controlled.

An electrochemical co-deposition method and solution to plate uniform, defect free and smooth (In,Ga)—Se films with repeatability and controllable molar ratios of (In,Ga) to Se are provided. Such layers are used in fabrication of semiconductor and electronic devices such as thin film solar cells. In one embodiment, the present invention provides an alkaline electrodeposition solution that includes an In salt, a Se acid or oxide, a tartrate salt as complexing agent for the In species, and a solvent to electrodeposit an In—Se film possessing sub-micron thickness on a conductive surface.

The present invention provides a method and precursor structure to form a Group IBIIIAIVA solar cell absorber layer. The method includes forming a Group IBIIIAVIA compound layer on a base by forming a precursor layer on the base through electrodepositing three different films, and then reacting the precursor layer with selenium to form the Group IBIIIAVIA compound layer on the base. The three films, described by the precursor layer, include in one embodiment a first alloy film comprising copper, indium and gallium, a second alloy film comprising copper and selenium formed on the first alloy film; and a selenium film formed on the second alloy film.

A chemical bath deposition apparatus is presented to prepare different thin films on plane substrates. In particular, it is useful to deposit CdS or ZnS buffer layers in manufacture of thin film solar cells. This deposition apparatus deposits thin films onto vertically travelling plane workpieces delivered by a conveyor belt. The thin films are deposited with continuously spraying the reaction solutions from their freshly mixed styles to gradually aged forms until the designed thickness is obtained. The substrates and the solutions are heated to a reaction temperature. During the deposition processes, the front surfaces of the substrates are totally covered with the sprayed solutions but the substrate backsides are remained dry. The reaction ambience inside the reactor can be isolated from the outside atmosphere. The apparatus is designed to generate a minimum amount of waste solutions for chemical treatments.

An electrochemical deposition method to form uniform and continuous Group IIIA material rich thin films with repeatability is provided. Such thin films are used in fabrication of semiconductor and electronic devices such as thin film solar cells. In one embodiment, the Group IIIA material rich thin film is deposited on an interlayer that includes 20-90 molar percent of at least one of In and Ga and at least 10 molar percent of an additive material including one of Cu, Se, Te, Ag and S. The thickness of the interlayer is adapted to be less than or equal to about 20% of the thickness of the Group IIIA material rich thin film.
