Abstract

Application of nanostructured composite coatings with a quasi-zero refractive index synthesized using the proposed patented technology provides a 25–30% increase in the efficiency of solar cells as compared to that of analogous solar cells with traditional (e.g., silicon nitride) single-layer interference antireflection coating.
