Nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) is a serious environmental pollutant and can cause negative consequences on both human health vegetation growth. Herein, the possibility promise of using resistive sensor based pristine black silicon (BSi) to detect NO at room temperature are investigated. BSi prepared plasma‐based reactive ion etching. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies show that consists vertically standing nanoneedles has large surface area, which facilitates gas adsorption. The...
Black silicon (b‐Si) has many attractive properties and is currently being adopted in various fields of semiconductor technology. It shown here that b‐Si during thermal activation may serve as an external gettering layer to remove metallic impurities associated defects from bulk Si. The efficiency by estimated according the results studying resistivity, defect density, interstitial iron concentration, effective minority carrier lifetime on gettered test ungettered reference Si samples....
To improve the absorption of light in two‐junction tandem perovskite–silicon solar cells, antireflective textures are often created on front surface form micronsized pyramids using wet‐chemical etching. It is known that single‐junction silicon cells with nanotextured black (BS) formed by dry‐etching techniques more efficient than pyramidal microtextures. Herein, experimental evidence enhanced efficiency structures BS between perovskite layer and substrate for first time demonstrated....
In this work, we have investigated the photocurrent and spectral sensitivity of silicon/SrTiO3:xNb/perovskite structures.
