Self-cleaning wideband antireflective Silicon nanocones for solar cell applications

摘要

Theoretical studies guided the experimental work for a novel fabrication methodology of asymmetric textured Silicon nanocones (SiNCs) through Metal-assisted chemical etching followed by oxidation. Optical numerical and Experimental studies showed a promising antireflective broadband property at angles up to ±60° combined with an inherent self-cleaning Property.
