Comparative study of thin film n-i-p a-Si: H solar cells to investigate the effect of absorber layer thickness on the plasmonic enhancement using gold nanoparticles
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015)In this paper, the effect of gold nanoparticles on n-i-p a-Si:H solar cells with different intrinsic layer (i-layer) thicknesses has been studied. 100nm and 500nm i-layer based n-i-p a-Si:H solar cells were fabricated and ... -
Enhanced light scattering with energy downshifting using 16 nm indium nitride nanoparticles for improved thin-film a-Si N-i-P solar cells
(Electrochemical Society Inc., 2015-05)In this work the effect of Indium nitride (InN) nanoparticles (NPs) on the performance of a-Si: H solar cells has been investigated. The average J<inf>sc</inf> of InN NPs coated cells was found 6.76 mA/cm2 which is 16.69% ... -
Nanosecond pulsed laser ablated sub-10 nm silicon nanoparticles for improving photovoltaic conversion efficiency of commercial solar cells
(Institute of Physics Publishing Ltd., 2017)In this paper, we demonstrate the enhancement of photovoltaic (PV) solar cell efficiency using luminescent silicon nanoparticles (Si-NPs). Sub-10 nm Si-NPs are synthesized via pulsed laser ablation technique. These ultra-small ... -
Photovoltaic nanocrystal scintillators hybridized on Si solar cells for enhanced conversion efficiency in UV
