Spherical silicon balls are applied to photovoltaic energy conversion. Silicon balls are produced by droplet spray method as well as abrasive machining of a single crystalline silicon wafer. A reflective mirror is used to maximize the solar cell efficiency. It is demonstrated the solar cell efficiency depends on the crystalline structure of silicon balls and the mirror in the module.

Zno Nanotube

The fabrication of silicon oxynitride (SiON)/ZnO nanotube (NT) arrays and their application in improving the energy conversion efficiency (η) of crystalline Si-based solar cells (SCs) are reported. The SiON/ZnO NT arrays have a graded-refractive-index that varies from 3.5 (Si) to1.9~2.0(Si3N4and ZnO) to1.72~1.75(SiON) to 1 (air). Experimental results show that the use of 0.4 μm long ZnO NT arrays coated with a 150 nm thick SiON film increasesΔη/ηby 39.2% under AM 1.5 G (100 mW/cm2) illumination as compared to that of regular SCs with a Si3N4/micropyramid surface. This enhancement can be attributed to SiON/ZnO NT arrays effectively releasing surface reflection and minimizing Fresnel loss.
