Synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles for photovoltaic application
(2013)With an increase in the amount of harmful carbon emissions in the atmosphere as well as a decrease in the availability of fossil fuels, there is a relatively high demand for alternate energy devices. Solar cells have become ... -
Vertically aligned silicon nanowires synthesised by metal assisted chemical etching for photovoltaic applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)One-dimensional silicon nanowires (SiNWs) are promising building blocks for solar cells as they provide a controlled, vectorial transport route for photo-generated charge carriers in the device as well as providing ...
