Photovoltaic Performance of Pin Junction Nanocone Array Solar Cells with Enhanced Effective Optical Absorption

Abstract The photovoltaic performance of axial and radial pin junction GaAs nanocone array solar cells is investigated. Compared with the cylinder nanowire arrays, the nanocone arrays not only improve the whole optical absorption but more importantly enhance the effective absorption (absorption in t...
