Porous Silicon and Solar Cells
The review of investigations of use of the porous silicon in silicon solar cells showed that the increase in the conversion efficiency (about of 25–30 %) is achieved for PS/Si solar cell compared to a cell without a PS layer. At the same time, the performance of silicon solar cells with PS layer is more than that of silicon solar cells with conventional ARC. Ag-induced …
