摘要: We report an efficient hybrid Si microwire (radial junction) and planar solar cell with a maximum efficiency of 11.0% under AM 1.5G ill;umination. The the is improved from 7.2% to by passivating top surface p–n junction thin a-SiN:H intrinsic poly-Si films, respectively, higher than that cells identical layers due increased light absorption charge-carrier collections in both wires components.
