6 FAQs about [Nanowire Solar Cell Film]
How n-type ZnO nanowires solar cells are made?
The solar cell is made up of vertical n-type ZnO nanowires that are encased in a film of p-type Cu2 O nanoparticles. The solution processing techniques are used to develop n-type ZnO nanowires solar cells. A blocking layer of TiO 2 is deposited on the ZnO nanowires to get the working solar cell. It is done before Cu 2 O film could expand.
Where can I find information about nanowire solar cells and thermoelectric devices?
Further information about nanowire solar cells and thermoelectric devices can be found in Hochbaum and Yang (2010). Nanowire properties and devices with respect to photodetection applications are discussed in Soci et al. (2010) and VJ et al. (2011).
Can nanowires be used as a solar cell?
The membrane with the embedded nanowires could potentially act as a stand-alone flexible solar cell, or be used as part of a tandem structure. Another possibility to reduce the substrate cost is to grow the nanowires on a foreign cheap substrate, as discussed earlier.
Can 3V nanowire solar cells be reduced compared to planar solar cells?
The decoupling of light absorption and carrier extraction is clearly shown. The cost of III–V nanowire solar cells could be reduced as compared to planar cells due to the mere fact that only about 5% of the expensive III–V material, as compared to a thin film, is needed to absorb almost all the sunlight [16,119].
How are Si nanowires obtained?
Si nanowires were obtained by plasma-assisted vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth [305–308]. It involves no lithography step and leads to randomly distributed Si nanowires, which led to remarkable 8.1% conversion efficiency for single-junction solar cells ; such Si-nanowire solar cells are shown in Fig. 18 (a).
What role do nanowires play in the design of SiNW solar cells?
Zhiming M. Wang, in Nano Today, 2016 The geometry of the nanowires also plays a critical role in light absorption and should be taken into consideration during design of SiNW solar cells.
