Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of plasmonic improvement on photonic absorber properties of capped SiO2 and TiO2 nanoparticle in thin film a-Si photovoltaic cell. It also examines their J-V properties when exposed to sunlight. The modified Stober approach was used for irradiation tests, revealing lower reflectivity in different doses with SiO2 1st dose:0.485mg/ml, SiO2 2nd dose:0.693mg/ml, and TiO2 1st dose:0.525 mg/ml, TiO2 2nd dose:0.748 mg/ml solutions. Silica-based solar cells showed a 2.45% efficiency improvement, while titania-based solar cells improved efficiency by 0.657% compared with the uncoated sample.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Ovonic Research (JOR) appears with six issues per year and is open to the reviews, papers, short communications and breakings news inserted as Short Notes, in the field of ovonic (mainly chalcogenide) materials for memories, smart materials based on ovonic materials (combinations of various elements including chalcogenides), materials with nano-structures based on various alloys, as well as semiconducting materials and alloys based on amorphous silicon, germanium, carbon in their various nanostructured forms, either simple or doped/alloyed with hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine and other elements of high interest for applications in electronics and optoelectronics. Papers on minerals with possible applications in electronics and optoelectronics are encouraged.
