Fabrication of 20.19% Efficient Single-Crystalline Silicon Solar Cell with Inverted Pyramid Microstructure.
This paper reports inverted pyramid microstructure-based single-crystalline silicon (sc-Si) solar cell with a conversion efficiency up to 20.19% in standard size of 156.75 × 156.75 mm2. The inverted pyramid microstructures were fabricated jointly by metal-assisted chemical etching process (MACE) with ultra-low concentration of silver ions and optimized alkaline anisotropic texturing process. An...
متن کاملCrystalline Silicon Solar Cells
Front page headlines in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal in 1954 heralded to the world the demonstration of the first reasonably efficient solar cells, an event made possible by the rapid development of crystalline silicon technology for miniaturised electronics. Since that time, the majority of solar cells fabricated to date have been based on silicon in monocrystalline or large-...
متن کاملAbsorption enhancement in ultrathin crystalline silicon solar cells with antireflection and light-trapping nanocone gratings.
Enhancing the light absorption in ultrathin-film silicon solar cells is important for improving efficiency and reducing cost. We introduce a double-sided grating design, where the front and back surfaces of the cell are separately optimized for antireflection and light trapping, respectively. The optimized structure yields a photocurrent of 34.6 mA/cm(2) at an equivalent thickness of 2 μm, clos...
متن کاملEffect of Silicon Nanowire on Crystalline Silicon Solar Cell Characteristics
Nanowires (NWs) are recently used in several sensor or actuator devices to improve their ordered characteristics. Silicon nanowire (Si NW) is one of the most attractive one-dimensional nanostructures semiconductors because of its unique electrical and optical properties. In this paper, silicon nanowire (Si NW), is synthesized and characterized for application in photovoltaic device. Si NWs are ...
متن کاملEfficiency improvement of crystalline silicon solar cells
To increase the efficiency and reduce the production cost of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells, efforts in the photovoltaic industry are currently put on the process optimization of the cell. Sodium hydroxide/Potassium hydroxide (NaOH/KOH) and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) are widely used in the standard alkaline texturization of mono crystalline silicon (mc-Si) wafers for enhancing the optical ...
