Abstract
Silver ion-exchanged was employed to introduce silver into the surface layer of aluminosilicate glasses. Effects of salt composition and annealing conditions on the distribution, valence and clustering states of silver were investigated through emission and excitation spectra measurement. It was found that isolated Ag+ ions, clusters of Ag2+ and Ag22+, and other mixed species of Ag+ ions and Ag0 atoms were present in the ion-exchanged glasses. Upon UV excitation (250–400nm), silver ion-exchanged glasses showed three distinct bands centers at 420nm, 480nm and 530nm, exhibiting great potential for the UV light down-shifting. Using the silver ion-exchanged glass as cover, quantum efficiency of α-Si solar cell in the 280–318nm spectral range was improved.
