Photon management by scratch‐resistant antireflection coating for the efficiency enhancement of silicon solar cell

Abstract: Antireflection coating (ARC) plays a crucial role in many solar and optical applications. ARC with mechanical robustness was developed to achieve more efficiency for the photovoltaic system cover glasses, by depositing porous Vinyltriethoxysilane/Pluronic F-127-based coating via spin coating technique.The coating shows maximum transparency around 93% in the visible region (400-800 nm). The mechanical robustness of the coating was analyzed using a pencil scratch test as per the ASTM standard D 3363-05 and it sh… Show more

“…Nowadays, obtaining coatings with different refractive indices by adjusting the porosity is a prominent technique. Ramakrishnan Swathi et al [39] deposited the porous vinyltriethoxysilane/pluronic F-127 (VTES/PF-127) composite SLARC on the surface of polysilicon via spin coating at 2000 rpm for 60 s. The polymer surfactant PF-127 decomposed and left pores during the heat treatment, so the team studied the porosity, pore size, refractive index, and transmittance of the coating at annealing temperatures of 100 • C, 250 • C, and 300 • C. In the range of 400-800 nm, the maximum transmittance increased from 91.48% to 92.83%, achieving an efficiency gain of 8.75%. At the same time, the stability and hydrophobicity of the coating were further proved.…”

“…The incident light will reflect between the sloped surfaces, strengthening the interaction between the incident light and the semiconductor surface. The second layer is protected by a single or multi-layer antireflective coating [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. These coatings are typically very thin, with an optical thickness of about one-quarter to one-half the incident wavelength.…”
