چکیده
Abstract Spinel zinc ferrite (ZnFe 2 O 4 ) nanocrystallites are applied as an anti-reflection coating (ARC) for the enhanced light harvesting in polycrystalline silicon solar cells (PCSSC) and its effect were studied. prepared using precursors of ferric chloride by co-precipitation method. The morphological, optical, electrical characterizations comprehensively used to establish performance spinel ZnFe Nanostructured Thin Films (NTF) covered uncovered PCSSC. Further, X-ray diffraction fluorescence analysis have been performed demonstrate crystallographic patterns elemental compositions nanocrystallites. developed NTF on PCSSC shows reduction reflectivity (20.3%), improvement trapping efficiency (17.5%) transmittance fabricated was validated with optical observations.

متن کاملGrowth and crystallographic feature-dependent characterization of spinel zinc ferrite thin films by RF sputtering
ZnFe2O4 (ZFO) thin films exhibiting varying crystallographic features ((222)-epitaxially, (400)-epitaxially, and randomly oriented films) were grown on various substrates by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. The type of substrate used profoundly affected the surface topography of the resulting ZFO films. The surface of the ZFO (222) epilayer was dense and exhibited small rectangular surface...
متن کاملNanosphere lithography of nanostructured silver films on thin-film silicon solar cells for light trapping
Sparse arrays of evaporated silver nanodisks were fabricated with nanosphere lithography (NSL) on glass substrates and on hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon solar cells. The optical transmittance spectra for arrays on glass vary substantially with film thickness, and were reasonably consistent with previous work. The quantum efficiency spectra of hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon solar cel...
متن کاملPolycrystalline silicon thin-film solar cells with plasmonic-enhanced light-trapping.
One of major approaches to cheaper solar cells is reducing the amount of semiconductor material used for their fabrication and making cells thinner. To compensate for lower light absorption such physically thin devices have to incorporate light-trapping which increases their optical thickness. Light scattering by textured surfaces is a common technique but it cannot be universally applied to al...
متن کاملResonant cavity enhanced light harvesting in flexible thin-film organic solar cells.
Dielectric/metal/dielectric (DMD) electrodes have the potential to significantly increase the absorption efficiency and photocurrent in flexible organic solar cells. We demonstrate that this enhancement is attributed to a broadband cavity resonance. Silver-based semitransparent DMD electrodes with sheet resistances below 10 ohm/sq. are fabricated on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sub...
