Fresnel Lenses Based on Nano Shell-silver Coated Silica Array for Solar Cells Applica- Tions
Fresnel lenses are low-cost optical elements used for focusing sunlight to solar panels to ensure operation under highflux density. However, the conventional Fresnel lens has a relatively high material usage and hence contributes to additional efficiency degradation. Moreover, traditional design of Fresnel lenses introduces additional prismatic facets, due to deviations in manufacturing, which ...
متن کاملMultipositional silica-coated silver nanoparticles for high-performance polymer solar cells.
We demonstrate high-performance polymer solar cells using the plasmonic effect of multipositional silica-coated silver nanoparticles. The location of the nanoparticles is critical for increasing light absorption and scattering via enhanced electric field distribution. The device incorporating nanoparticles between the hole transport layer and the active layer achieves a power conversion efficie...

Nonimaging optics are presented as o ering the possib...
متن کاملCore-Shell CdS-Cu₂S Nanorod Array Solar Cells.
As an earth-abundant p-type semiconductor, copper sulfide (Cu2S) is an attractive material for application in photovoltaic devices. However, it suffers from a minority carrier diffusion length that is less than the length required for complete light absorption. Core-shell nanowires and nanorods have the potential to alleviate this difficulty because they decouple the length scales of light abso...
