Electrodeposition of crystalline silicon films from silicon dioxide for low-cost photovoltaic applications
The photovoltaics market has been dominated by crystalline silicon solar cells despite the high cost of the silicon wafers. Here Zou et al. develop a one-step electrodeposition process in molten salt to produce high-purity solar-grade silicon films, delivering power conversion efficiency of 3.1%.
