dc.description.abstract | In this (state of the art) review the merits of nanotechnology for solar cell applications are studied. The results indicate that efficiency benefits may be expected resulting from reduced reflection, enhanced absorption, collective resonances, diffraction effects, increased density of states, leaky mode resonances (LMR’s), hot-carrier collection, up-conversion, down-conversion multiple exciton generation (MEG), the fine-tuning of band gaps and radial p-n junctions, all made possible by nanotechnology. Moreover the results show that nanotechnology will most likely decrease the production costs of solar cells. Due to nanotechnology, solar cells with efficiencies ranging up to 70% are at hand but more research is needed. | |
