High performance hybrid silicon micropillar solar cell based on light trapping characteristics of Cu nanoparticles

High performance silicon combined structure (micropillar with Cu nanoparticles) solar cell has been synthesized from N-type silicon substrates based on the micropillar array. The combined structure solar cell exhibited higher short circuit current rather than the silicon miropillar solar cell, which...
