研究目的
To develop a time- and cost-effective method of fabricating an antireflection structure on Si solar cells utilizing the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) for broadband light absorption enhancement and efficiency improvement.
研究成果
The electroless plating method for fabricating Ag NPs on Si solar cells, combined with Al2O3 encapsulation, significantly reduces reflection and improves power efficiency. The method offers a potential strategy for light absorption and efficiency improvement in Si solar cells, with possibilities for further optimization by adjusting plating recipes and dielectric film properties.
研究不足
The study focuses on Ag NPs and Al2O3 encapsulation for antireflection and protection, but the effectiveness of other materials or methods is not explored. The degradation study is limited to 14 days for unprotected NPs and 90 days for Al2O3 protected NPs.
