p-Cu2O-shell/n-TiO2-nanowire-core heterostucture photodiodes
This study reports the deposition of cuprous oxide [Cu2O] onto titanium dioxide [TiO2] nanowires [NWs] prepared on TiO2/glass templates. The average length and average diameter of these thermally oxidized and evaporated TiO2 NWs are 0.1 to 0.4 μm and 30 to 100 nm, respectively. The deposited Cu2O fills gaps between the TiO2 NWs with good step coverage to form nanoshells surrounding the TiO2 cor...
متن کاملActive layer-incorporated, spectrally tuned Au/SiO2 core/shell nanorod-based light trapping for organic photovoltaics.
We demonstrate that incorporation of octadecyltrimethoxysilane (OTMS)-functionalized, spectrally tuned, gold/silica (Au/SiO2) core/shell nanospheres and nanorods into the active layer of an organic photovoltaic (OPV) device led to an increase in photoconversion efficiency (PCE). A silica shell layer was added onto Au core nanospheres and nanorods in order to provide an electrically insulating s...
متن کاملCore-shell silicon nanowire solar cells
Silicon nanowires can enhance broadband optical absorption and reduce radial carrier collection distances in solar cell devices. Arrays of disordered nanowires grown by vapor-liquid-solid method are attractive because they can be grown on low-cost substrates such as glass, and are large area compatible. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that an array of disordered silicon nanowires surrounded...
متن کاملCore/Shell Nanowire Arrays with Enhanced Photoactivity
There are currently great needs to develop low-cost inorganic materials that can efficiently perform solar water splitting as photoelectrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen has significant potential to provide clean energy. We investigate the Si/TiO2 nanowire heterostructures to determine their potential for the photooxidation of water. We observed that highly dense Si/TiO2 core/shell nano...
متن کاملAmorphous Silicon Core-shell Nanowire Solar Cells
Nanostructures such as nanoparticles and nanowires have been demonstrated as powerful tools to improve light absorption[1-4], to enable low temperature process[5], to demonstrate multi-exciton generation[6], and to decouple the absorption depth and carrier diffusion length[7, 8]. Here we demonstrated the first amorphous silicon coreshell nanowire solar cells, which can be fabricated through a l...
