Key factors impacting performance of a salinity gradient solar pond exposed to Mediterranean climate
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017)Solar ponds are low cost pools of brine solutions with integrated storage zones that harvest incident solar energy and store it as thermal energy. The current study examined the performance of a salinity gradient solar ... -
Effect of gold nanoparticles size on light scattering for thin film amorphous-silicon solar cells
(Elsevier Ltd, 2014)In this work, the effect of gold (Au) nanoparticles on the performance of a-Si:H solar cells is investigated experimentally. The solar cell stack is grown on a highly doped p-type Si wafer and consists of 20nm heavily doped ... -
Nanosecond pulsed laser ablated sub-10 nm silicon nanoparticles for improving photovoltaic conversion efficiency of commercial solar cells
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 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 ...
