Effect of porous silicon layer on the performance of Si/oxide photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical cells

Inductively coupled plasma-assisted RF magnetron sputtering deposition of boron-doped microcrystalline Si films

“…Compared to B-doped amorphous Si, this material has a higher dark conductivity, carrier mobility, doping efficiency, optical transparency, etc., due to the presence of Si crystallites embedded in the amorphous Si or Si-based matrices [8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Electrical performance in iron-passivated porous silicon film

“…Many efforts have been focused to produce light emitting devices (LEDs), PS Schottky diodes, gas sensors and solar cells using this material [6][7][8][9][10][11]. For example, Badawy [11] has reported that the solar cells based on porous silicon and covered by an oxide film, are stable against environmental attacks. He found that the use of PS instead of silicon crystals in solar cells and the optimization of the solar conversion efficiency will lead to the reduction of the cost, which is an important factor.…”

Preparation and near-infrared absorption of nano-SnO2/SiO2 assemblies with doping and without doping

“…As we know, the mesoporous solids possess very high absorption ability to heat. In order to improve or modulate the thermal absorption ability of mesoporous solids, the assemblies of nano-particles with the mesoporous solids were designed [8][9][10][11]. The near-infrared absorption study of the assemblies of nano-particles with the mesoporous solids has been reported [12].…”
