Effects of nanowire texturing on the performance of Si/organic hybrid solar cells fabricated with a 2.2 μm thin-film Si absorber

Hybrid solar cells are fabricated by spin coating poly(3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) on planar Si and Si-nanowires (SiNWs) arrays prepared by electroless chemical etching. With only a 2.2 μm thick Si absorber thin film, the short-circuit current density and power conv...
