15.7% Efficient 10-μm-Thick Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells Using Periodic Nanostructures

Only ten micrometer thick crystalline silicon solar cells deliver a short-circuit current of 34.5 mA cm[superscript −2] and power conversion efficiency of 15.7%. The record performance for a crystalline silicon solar cell of such thinness is enabled by an advanced light-trapping design incorporating...
