High-Efficiency 6'' Multicrystalline Black Solar Cells Based on Metal-Nanoparticle-Assisted Chemical Etching

Multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) photovoltaic (PV) solar cells with nanoscale surface texturing by metal-nanoparticle-assisted etching are proposed to achieve high power efficiency. The investigation of average nanorod lengths from 100 nm to 1 μm reveals that the Si wafer decorated with 100 nm thick...
