Structural, optical, and electrical properties of silicon nanowires for solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Johann Michler, Stefaan De Wolf

We investigated Si nanowires (SiNWs) fabricated by wet etching and chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and core-shell structures, formed by depositing silicon layers around the SiNWs, with respect to their crystallinity, the doping level, and the influence of ...

Thermomechanical behavior of multifunctional GFRP sandwich structures with encapsulated photovoltaic cells

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Behzad Dehghan Manshadi

The feasibility of encapsulating solar cells into the glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) skins of load-bearing and thermally insulating sandwich elements with foam cores has been evaluated. Exposure of the encapsulated cells to artificial sunlight led t ...

Photocurrent Increase in Thin Film Solar Cells by Guided Mode Excitation

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Jordi Escarre Palou, Karin Söderström

Angle resolved measurements of the external quantum efficiency of a-Si solar cells deposited on a grating show strong absorption phenomena which are well explained with the guided mode structure in an equivalent flat multilayer system. ...

Comparison and optimization of randomly textured surfaces in thin-film solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Thomas Söderström

Using rigorous diffraction theory we investigate the scattering properties of various random textures currently used for photon management in thin-film solar cells. We relate the haze and the angularly resolved scattering function of these cells to the enh ...

Resistive interlayer for improved performance of thin film silicon solar cells on highly textured substrate

Christophe Ballif, Matthieu Despeisse, Grégory Bugnon, Andrea Feltrin, Peter Cuony, Adrian Billet

The deposition of thin-film silicon solar cells on highly textured substrates results in improved light trapping in the cell. However, the growth of silicon layers on rough substrates can often lead to undesired current drains, degrading performance and re ...

Light scattering at nano-textured surfaces in thin film silicon solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Corsin Battaglia

State-of-the-art solar cells based on thin film silicon make use of random textures for absorption enhancement; in the past, the development of these textures was carried out empirically, and in most applications this is still the case. Attempts to underst ...
