Abstract

High performance radial p-n junction solar cells based on silicon nanopillar array were synthesized from p-type silicon substrates and compared with planar cell. These radial p-n junction cells exhibited considerable higher short-circuit current, due to their unique carriers decoupling mechanism. After the electrode enhancement via light induced plating, a best efficiency of near 12 was achieved for radial p-n junction solar cell, which is better than the planar control cell.
