  • Title: Graphene/silicon nanowire Schottky junction for enhanced light harvesting.
    Author: Fan G, Zhu H, Wang K, Wei J, Li X, Shu Q, Guo N, Wu D.
    Journal: ACS Appl Mater Interfaces; 2011 Mar; 3(3):721-5. PubMed ID: 21323376.
    Abstract:
    Schottky junction solar cells are assembled by directly coating graphene films on n-type silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays. The graphene/SiNW junction shows enhanced light trapping and faster carrier transport compared to the graphene/planar Si structure. With chemical doping, the SiNW-based solar cells showed energy conversion efficiencies of up to 2.86% at AM1.5 condition, opening a possibility of using graphene/semiconductor nanostructures in photovoltaic application.
