Wafer-scale nanoconical frustum array crystalline silicon solar cells: promising candidates for ultrathin device applications

Abstract

A high photocurrent of 36.96 mA cm⁻²was achieved for wafer-scaled crystalline Si solar cells with hexagonal nanoconical frustum arrays at the surface. Optical simulations showed that the expected photocurrent of 10 μm thick nanostructured cells could slightly exceed the Lambertian limit.
