Advances in Silicon Solar Cells

Abstract

Over the past decade, silicon nanowire solar cells have been intensively explored as potential platforms for the next-generation photovoltaic (PV) technologies with high power conversion efficiency and low production cost. This chapter discusses the details of the silicon nanowire solar cells in terms of their device structures, fabrication and characterization, electrical and optical properties benefited from the nanowire geometry. These benefits are not only expected to increase the power conversion efficiency, but also considered to reduce the requirement for the material quantity and quality, allowing for potential efficiency improvements and substantial cost reductions.
