This study presents electrical and optical performances of textured silicon solar cell improved by plasmonic-scattering and luminescent-down-shifting effects. The cell with the proposed effects demonstrated a 1.79 % absolute-gain in efficiency compared with a reference-cell.
This study reports photovoltaic performance of MOS-structure Si solar cells enhanced by the combination of antireflection, biasing, and plasmonic scattering effects. The absolute gain in efficiency by 4.66% was obtained, compared with the reference cells.
In this study, the substantial performance enhancement of crystalline silicon (C-Si) solar cells through the combined utilization of two luminescent down-shifting europium (Eu)-doped phosphor species in the silicate (SiO2) layer was experimentally demonstrated. The combination of emission wavelengths of 512nm and 550nm, of 512nm and 610nm, and of 550nm and 610nm from the two Eu-doped phosphor species,...
This paper reports impressive enhancements in the efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells through the application of a Eu-doped silicate phosphor luminescent downshifting (LDS) layer controlled by spin-on film technique. Surface morphology was examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM), chemical composition was analyzed using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and fluorescence emission...
Impressive efficiency enhancement of 15.38% of crystalline-silicon solar-cell with Eu-doped silicate-phosphors and SiO2-layer using spin-on technique is demonstrated. Reflectance, external quantum efficiency, and photovoltaic I-V characteristics are used to examine the downshifting effectiveness.
Electrical and optical performance of crystalline silicon solar cells with down shifting Eu-doped silicate phosphors film using spin-on film technique was experimental demonstrated. The coverage of phosphors particles was controlled using the deposition holding time by spin-on process. Photo-luminescence (PL) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) response of the cells with Eu-doped silicate phosphors...
Performance enhancement of the p-n junction silicon solar cells with ITO/Al2O3/TiO2 antireflective coating is experimentally demonstrated. The reflectivity of the ITO/Al2O3/TiO2 layer configuration with various thicknesses on Si wafer are simulated and characterized. Optical reflection and external quantum efficiency of the proposed MOS-structure Si solar cells are measured and compared with the changing...
In this study, the fabrication of thin porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates with controllable thickness of 400–1300 nm is demonstrated. One-step anodizing method is used to generate AAO template with hexagonal porous distributed profile. The pore diameter pore-widening and AAO barrier layer thinned down are investigated. The morphologies and pore structures of the fabricated AAO templates...
