1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:

The study involved the fabrication of a-Si:H solar cells with a novel BRL consisting of Ag2S nanoparticles embedded between two ITO layers. The rationale behind this design was to enhance light trapping within the active layers of the solar cell.

2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:

Colloidal N-acetyl cysteine capped Ag2S NPs were synthesized and used to form the BRL. The solar cells were fabricated on FTO coated glass substrates.

3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:

Equipment included a Zeiss Sigma scanning electron microscope for FESEM, NT-MDT Solver NEXT atomic force microscope for AFM, a pulsed DC magnetron sputtering system for ITO deposition, and a PECVD unit for solar cell fabrication. Materials included AgNO3, NaBH4, N-acetyl cysteine, and ITO.

4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:

The Ag2S NPs were spin-coated on an ITO layer, followed by the deposition of another ITO layer to form the BRL. The solar cells were then fabricated using PECVD, with the BRL incorporated into one set of cells for comparative study.

5：Data Analysis Methods:

Reflectance measurements were performed using a UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer, J-V characteristics were measured under AM 1.5G illumination, and EQE was measured using an incident photo-current efficiency measurement system. Numerical calculations were performed using COMSOL? Multiphysics to validate the experimental outcomes.
