Photovoltaic performance of a thin-film silicon solar cell based on light-trapping enhanced and surface-recombination reduced using an optimization of metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) and TiO2 passivation was demonstrated. The silver nanoparticles were used as etched mask in MACE process to obtain a nanoporous silicon surface layer. The optical reflectance, dark and photovoltaic current-voltage,...
In this abstract, Si nanohole and nanowire/organic polymer solar cell is fabricated by low temperature and simple spin-coating method. The results show that the nanohole device performance is better than that of nanowire device. The Si nanohole device has higher external quantum efficiency in all wavelengths. The reason for the enhancement is analyzed from optical reflectance and the observation between...
Si nanostructures are promising materials for future photovoltaic applications. To date the Si nanostructures are mainly formed on particular substrates or at high temperatures, greatly limiting their application flexibility. Here we report a two-step metal-assisted etching technique for forming vertically aligned Si nanohole thin films on bulk Si wafers at room temperature. The Si nanohole thin films...
The selection of electrodes in ZnO nanorod-based polymer solar cells was investigated. Increases in the work function of metal electrode result in the increases in open-circuit voltage up to 120 mV, leading to improved performance.
ZnO nanorod arrays (ZNAs), grown from aqueous solutions, were integrated into polymer solar cells. Morphological, crystalline and optical properties of ZNAs were studied. Infiltration-improved polymer/ZNAs solar cells by adding fullerene were assembled and characterized.
