The project focuses on synthesizing silicon nano-rods for thin film solar cells, aiming to improve efficiency by reducing defects. This innovative approach seeks to create a new type of solar cell that is both cost-effective and highly efficient.
Thin film solar cells, based on non-toxic, abundant and air-stable silicon (Si) will probably, based on forecasts, dominate the photovoltaic market in the future and thus replace bulk Si from its leading position.
This prognosis is fostered by the strong cost reduction potential due to highly effective materials utilization at low energy consumption.
However, thin film Si suffers from inherently small grains, which limits efficiencies to ~10% due to carrier recombination at grain boundaries. A r…
