Graphene for Si-based solar cells

Effect of Ni atomic fraction on active species of graphene growth on Cu–Ni alloy catalysts: a density functional theory study

“…6 With the combination of these properties, graphene is a suitable material for a transparent conductive electrode (TCE). [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The performance of graphene as a TCE is optimal if it has a multilayer structure (2-5 layers) 8,9,[11][12][13] because the two main factors that determine the performance of a TCE are sheet resistance and transparency, which have an inverse dependence on the number of graphene layers. 8,11 Therefore, controlling the number of graphene layers is crucial to obtaining the optimum figure of merit (FoM).…”

Bifunctional enhancement of photodetection and photovoltaic parameters in graphene/porous-Si heterostructures by employing interfacial hexagonal boron nitride and bathocuproine back-surface passivation layers

“…8 A lot of studies have been performed on Schottky junctions formed at the GR TCE/Si interface for improving the performance of Si-based optoelectronic devices such as photodetectors (PDs) and solar cells. [9][10][11][12][13][14] An external voltage is usually supplied for the operation of PDs, thereby inducing the separation of the generated electron-hole pairs. By including the power source, large packaging of the entire device with the operating circuit is required.…”

Investigating the Impact of Growth Time and Methane Flow on Graphene Synthesis using Nickel Foil

“…The G peak is placed around 1582 cm -1 band position and this peak represents sp 2 hybridization of carbon bonding. The 2D peak shows up in the 2700 cm -1 band position that is known as an indicator for the presence of the single layer graphene [22][23][24]. These peak positions, I2D/IG ratio and full width half maximum (FWHM) 2D peak are used to determine the quality of the graphene films [25][26][27].…”
