Improved Interfacial Contact for Pyramidal Texturing of Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

“…This will lead to a low shunt resistance and thus reduced Voc and FF. The drop in Voc for cells with longer SiNWs is also attributed to higher carrier recombination associated with their increased surface area [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. The defective surface of the SiNWs prepared by electroless etching and the poor infiltration and coverage of PEDOT onto the SiNW surface will exacerbate carrier recombination and lower the Voc.…”

Enhanced Lateral Photovoltaic Effects in n-Si/SiO2/PEDOT:PSS Structures

“…Recently, organic/silicon hybrid solar cells (HSCs) have attracted a lot of attention due to the combined advantages of the high carrier mobility of Si, the tailorable energy levels of conjugated polymers, and low-temperature processing techniques [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. As a kind of typical p-type organic semiconductor material, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) has been widely used in HSCs.…”

Hybrid Nanocomposite Thin Films for Photovoltaic Applications: A Review

“…Lately, various papers have summarized the achievements attained in the field of the PV cells fabricated by various processing techniques (spin-coating, blade coating, spray coating, vacuum evaporation, screen printing, inkjet printing, etc.) [8,11,[34][35][36][81][82][83][84][85]. However, a review focused on the development achieved in the PV cells based on composite layers involving inorganic semiconductors nanostructures embedded in the organic materials can be very helpful in understanding the impact of different factors on the device performance and finding new approaches to overcome the current limitations in the upcoming years.…”
