A New Type of Solid State Solar Cell Based on Fe2O3, SiC and Crystal Growth Inhibitors
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new type of solid state solar cell is produced by using Fe2O3 (working electrode) and SiC as a hole collector (counter electrode). Two molten salts, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (EMICl) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide (BMII) were used as crystal growth inhibitors with a SiC film. It was found that BMI1 shows about 10 times higher efficiency compared to an EMICl-based SiC film solar cell.
