Flexible heterojunction solar cells were fabricated from carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and mono-crystalline Si thin films at room temperature. The Si thin films with thickness less than 50 μm are prepared by chemically etching Si wafer in a KOH solution. The initial efficiency of the thin-film solar cell varies from approximately 3% to 5%. After doping with a few drops of 1 M HNO3, the efficiency increases to 6% with a short-circuit current density of 16.8 mA/cm(2) and a fill factor of 71.5%. The performance of the solar cells depends on the surface state and thickness of Si thin films, as well as the interface of CNT/Si. The flexible CNT/Si thin-film solar cells exhibit good stability in bending-recovery cycles.
柔性异质结太阳能电池是在室温下由碳纳米管(CNT)和单晶硅薄膜制成的。通过在KOH溶液中化学蚀刻硅片制备厚度小于50μm的硅薄膜。薄膜太阳能电池的初始效率约为3%至5%。在用几滴1M HNO3掺杂后,效率提高到6%,短路电流密度为16.8 mA/cm²,填充因子为71.5%。太阳能电池的性能取决于硅薄膜的表面状态和厚度,以及CNT/Si的界面。柔性CNT/硅薄膜太阳能电池在弯曲-恢复循环中表现出良好的稳定性。
