Achieving High Optical Absorption in Thin Film Photovoltaic Devices via Nanopillar Arrays and Metal Nanoparticles
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2025-07-12) Tut, Turgut
In this study, crystalline silicon nanopillars has been employed as a hexagonal array photonic crystal structure with low optical reflection, augmented by silver metallic nanoparticles ranging from 10 to 50 nm in diameter in order to achieve high absorption in thin silicon films, a critical factor for applications in photovoltaic devices. Initially, it has been begun with an optimized structure in terms of pillar filling ratio, pillar height, and diameter, as established in the previous study. This allows to obtain a hexagonal array of nanopillars with a surface characterized by low optical reflection. To enhance the optical absorption within the bulk of the silicon thin film, the optical scattering properties of silver (Ag) metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) has been harnessed. The integration of silver metal nanoparticles into the photonic crystal hexagonal nanopillar array involved introducing a cavity into the silicon pillar. Placing Ag MNPs near the bottom of the cavity prevented the degradation of the photonic crystal's ability to maintain low reflection within the desired optical spectrum (between 400-1100 nm). Comparison between the nanopillar hexagonal array structure with Ag MNPs and the bare silicon substrate revealed a remarkable 104.76 percent increase in optical absorption for a 1-micron thick silicon bulk material. This triple hybrid structure exhibits tremendous potential in photovoltaic device applications, including solar cells and photodetectors, with the capacity to significantly enhance conversion efficiency.
Broadband Low Reflection Surfaces With Silicon Nanopillar Hexagonal Arrays for Energy Harvesting in Photovoltaics
(Springer, 2022-06-25) Tut, Turgut
In this study, optimization of the silicon nanopillar arrays and thin films coated on silicon substrate has been investigated in order to minimize the optical reflection loss from the silicon substrate surface. Nanopillars's filling ratio, pillar height, pillars diameter, sidewall incline angle, and step coverage with dielectric thin film thickness are systematically optimized together for the first time with these type of nanostructures. Full-field Finite Difference Time Domain method is used to simulate electro-magnetic fields and calculate the reflection from the modified nanostructured substrate surfaces in 400-1100 nm spectral range. Optimization recipe is clearly presented and this is not only useful for hexagonal arrays but also for regular arrays of nanopillars in general. We also further decrease the reflection by using step coverage concept which is the result of nonconformal coating on steps and trenches of thin films. We obtained approximately 2% of weighted average reflection in the 400-1100 nm range for perpendicular incident solar radiation which is one of the best results reported for this type of nanostructured surfaces in the literature.
Broadband Low Reflection Surfaces With Silicon Nano-Pillar Square Arrays for Energy Harvesting
(2022-01-30) Tut, Turgut
In this work, optimization of the nanopillar arrays and thin films coated on silicon substrate has been investigated in order to minimize the optical reflection loss from the silicon substrate surface. Nano-pillars's height, incline angle, array properties are systematically optimized. Full field Finite Difference Time Domain method is used to simulate EM fields and calculate the reflection from the modified nanostructured substrate surfaces in 400nm-1100nm spectral range. Optimization recipe is clearly presented and it is not only useful for square arrays but for regular arrays of nano-pillars in general.
