Study of SiNWs / hybrid solar cell

The conventional approaches to generate energy have caused serious energy crisis and climate changes due to the pollution coming along with it. There is a strong demand to seek renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources. Solar energy is a potential candidate because of its abundance and c...
