Photovoltaic enhancement of Si solar cells by assembled carbon nanotubes

Photovoltaic conversion was enhanced by directly assemble of a network of single-walled carbon nanotubes（SWNTs） onto the surface of n-p junction silicon solar cells. When the density of SWNTs increased from 50 to 400 tubes μm-2, an enhancement of 3.92% in energy conversion efficiency was typically o...

Zusammenfassung:Photovoltaic conversion was enhanced by directly assemble of a network of single-walled carbon nanotubes（SWNTs） onto the surface of n-p junction silicon solar cells. When the density of SWNTs increased from 50 to 400 tubes μm-2, an enhancement of 3.92% in energy conversion efficiency was typically obtained. The effect of the SWNTs network is proposed for trapping incident photons and assisting electronic transportation at the interface of silicon solar cells.
