Self-Cleaning, Low-Reflectivity Surface Could Improve PV Cells
Primary tabs
Using two different types of chemical etching to create features at both the micron and nanometer size scales, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a surface treatment that could boost the light absorption of silicon photovoltaic cells in two complementary ways.
The surface treatment increases absorption both by trapping light in three-dimensional structures and by making the surfaces self-cleaning
