Abstract

Increase of the efficiency of the solar cells which are produced in industry, is important. Increase of efficiency of solar cells was identified, when nanoplasmonics phenomenon was formed in solar cell. So, in this article, influence of nanoparticles Pt, Au, Ag and Cu on properties of silicon based solar cell has been studied. When nanoparticle Pt was inclused in silicon based solar cell, its efficiency increased 2.31 times. Optimal radius of nanoparticule Pt was identified to be between 15-25 nm.

Highlights

  • Nowadays a lot of research works are being done, in order to increase efficiency of solar cell

  • We identified that nanoplasmonic effects are appeared when the other metal nanoparticles are input into silicon solar cells [7]

  • Optimal condition of nanoparticles is different for solar cells, which are formed from various materials

Summary

Introduction

Nowadays a lot of research works are being done, in order to increase efficiency of solar cell. Maximum theoretical efficiency of nanostructured silicon based solar cell was theoretically calculated to be 42% by Yunlu Xu [3]. By the forming textures on the surface of the solar cell, efficiency of silicon solar cell increases 1.26 times [4]. The efficiency of silicon solar cells can be enhanced by using plasmonic effect [5]. We identified that nanoplasmonic effects are appeared when the other metal nanoparticles are input into silicon solar cells [7]. In this paper, influence of Ag, Au, Cu and Pt nanoparticles on efficiency of silicon based solar cell has been studied
