Enhancement of reflectance reduction of solar cells by a silicon nanoparticle layer on a textured silicon substrate

open access: yesResults in Optics, 2022
To reduce the surface reflectance of Si solar cells, a structure has been developed in which a silicon nanoparticle (SiNP) layer is formed on a pyramid-like structure to simultaneously exploit multiple reflections and refractive index changes.
