Graphene-On-Silicon Schottky Junction Solar Cells

Highly conductive semitransparent graphene sheets are combined with an n-type silicon (n-Si) wafer to fabricate solar cells with power conversion efficiencies up to 1.5% at AM 1.5 and an illumination intensity of 100 mW cm(-2). The Schottky junction solar cells can be extended to other semiconducting materials in which graphene serves multiple functions as active junction layer, charge transport path, and transparent electrode.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000280213600002&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Chemistry, MultidisciplinaryChemistry, PhysicalNanoscience & NanotechnologyMaterials Science, MultidisciplinaryPhysics, AppliedPhysics, Condensed MatterSCI(E)464ARTICLE252743-+2
