Integration of an array of Ag nanoparticles in solar cells is expected to increase light trapping through field enhancement and plasmonic scattering. Requirement of Ag nanoparticle decoration of cell surfaces or interfaces at the macro-scale, calls for a self-organized fabrication method such as thermal dewetting. Optical properties of a 2D array of Ag nanoparticles are known to be very sensitive to their shape and size. We show that these parameters depend on the type of the substrate used. We observe that the average nanoparticle size decreases with increasing substrate thermal conductivity and nanoparticle size distribution broadens with increasing surface roughness.

Effect of porosity on the efficiency of DSSC produced by using nano size TiO2 powders
Bilgin, Nursev; Park, Jongee; Öztürk, Abdullah (2014-01-01)
Gözenekliliğin, 20 nm ve 200 nm TiO2 partiküllerinin farklı oranlarda karıştırılmasıyla oluşturulan pastalar kullanılarak hazırlanan boyaya duyarlı güneş pillerinin (DSSC'ler) enerji dönüşüm verimine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Macunların mikroyapısını incelemek için XRD ve SEM analizleri yapılmıştır. DSSC'lerin enerji dönüşüm verimliliği, tam akım yoğunluğu-voltaj eğrisi çizilerek belirlendi. Ağırlıkça% 40 20 nm ve ağırlıkça% 60 200 nm TiO2 partiküllerinden oluşan karışım kullanılarak hazırlanan DSSC,% 6.74'lü...
Effect of Laser Wavelength on AZO Surface Texturing by Direct Laser Processing / Patterning for Thin-Film Silicon Solar Cells Applications
Demircioğlu, Zeynep; Nasser, Hisham; Balog, Robert S.; Turan, Raşit (2018-01-01)
Surface texturing of transparent conductive oxides is crucial to improve the fraction of incident light trapped in the absorber layer of thin film silicon based solar cells to improve the device performance. In this work, we fabricate and compare periodic, overlapping, and random surface textures and patterns on aluminium doped zinc oxide (AZO) using direct laser processing. The effects of the used laser wavelength, laser operating frequency, and pulse periodicity on the structural, morphological, and optic...
Effects of Substrate Temperature on material characteristics of sputtered Aluminum doped ZnO thin films
Bayraklı, Özge; Emir, Cansu; Güllü, Hasan Hüseyin; Parlak, Mehmet (null; 2016-09-23)
Transparent conductive layers (TCOs) attract the attention in opto-electronic and photovoltaic device applications due to their conductivity and transparency characteristics in the visible region of the solar spectrum. There are various TCO thin film layers, and indium tin oxide (ITO) and aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) are the most popular thin films such as the desired material characteristics of SnO2and ZnO, respectively. In literature, the works indicated that the characteristics of these films can be c...
Effect of ionic strength on the performance of polymer enhanced ultrafiltration in heavy metal removal from aqueous solutions
İslamoğlu, Sezin; Yılmaz, Levent; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006)
Effect of ionic strength on the efficiency of heavy metal removal and recovery from aqueous solutions via continuous mode polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) method was examined. Application of PEUF to divalent ions of cadmium, nickel and zinc after their prior linking with polyethylenimine (PEI) results in complete removal of metal ions from single component aqueous solutions at high pHs. Binding ability and hence the extent of metal retention in high ionic strength medium exhibits differences between ...
Effects of reactor geometry on dissociating CO2 and electrode degradation in a MHCD plasma reactor
Taylan, Onur; Pinero, Daniel; Berberoğlu, Halil (2018-08-01)
This paper reports an experimental study on the effects of reactor geometry for dissociating carbon dioxide using a microhollow cathode discharge (MHCD) reactor, and the associated electrode degradation. A MHCD reactor consists of two hollow metal electrodes that are separated by dielectric material. The geometric reactor parameters studied were the dielectric material thickness and the diameter of the reactor hole. Dielectric thicknesses of 150, 300 and 450 mu m and discharge hole diameters of 200, 400 and...
