Z. B. Ibraheem, M. M. Uonis, and M. A. Abed
Determination of Output Power of Si–CNT Solar Cell
575–582 (2023)

PACS numbers: 68.37.Hk,81.05.ub,81.15.Cd,81.15.Gh,84.60.Jt,88.40.hj,88.40.jj

Plasma-sputtering technique is used to deposit the carbon layers with different nanoscale thicknesses on the p-type silicon wafers. The scanning electron-microscope images show the grains’ size growth and aggregation in clusters. The electrical properties of the junction behave as a solar cell, and this gives the proof of formation of the carbon nanotubes (CNT). Both the out power and the efficiency of the Si–CNT cells increase with carbon-layer thickness and light intensity.

Key words: carbon nanotube, solar cells, p–n junction.
