Abstract
In 2009, our group first looked for a large area fiber cell by bundling several fibers together (in Fig. 6.1). All fibers surrounded by Al cathode and ITO anodes at the top of fibers are connected to each other by silver paste. This idea inspired us to design more and better integrated OCGPVs, including a stamped fiber matrix on planar plastic substrate, domes or cones substrate and even ZnO nano-rod by near field approach, which will be introduced in this chapter.
