Electrical performance of efficient quad-crescent-shaped Si nanowire solar cell

Ramy El-Bashar et al.

Summary: The electrical characteristics of quad-crescent-shaped silicon nanowire solar cells were analyzed numerically to optimize performance, resulting in increased optical absorption and power conversion efficiency. The core-shell junction design showed an improvement of approximately 80% in conversion efficiency due to the high back surface field layer, with minimal impact from nanowire surface recombination compared to the axial junction.

Versatilely tuned vertical silicon nanowire arrays by cryogenic reactive ion etching as a lithium-ion battery anode

Andam Deatama Refino et al.

Summary: The production of high-aspect-ratio silicon nanowire-based anode for lithium ion batteries is challenging and requires the optimization of several etching parameters. Different materials were used as masks to investigate their effects on resulting nanowire structures. Raman spectroscopy revealed higher compressive stress in longer Si wires, and anisotropy of lattice stress was found in Si nanowires. The half-cell battery integrating ICP-RIE-based silicon nanowire anode exhibited a certain capacity but needs further improvement.
