Absorption-Enhanced Ultra-Thin Solar Cells Based on Horizontally Aligned p–i–n Nanowire Arrays

Absorption-Enhanced Ultra-Thin Solar Cells Based on Horizontally Aligned p–i–n Nanowire Arrays

A horizontally aligned GaAs p–i–n nanowire array solar cell is proposed and studied via coupled three-dimensional optoelectronic simulations. Benefiting from light-concentrating and light-trapping properties, the horizontal nanowire array yields a remarkable efficiency of 10.8% with a radius of 90 n...
