Hybrid porous silicon/silver nanostructures for the development of enhanced photovoltaic devices

Si-based metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) Schottky junction solar cells with the basic structure Al/Si/TiO2/ Au were fabricated. This structure was modified by the addition of nanostructured porous silicon (nanoPS) layers and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), resulting in devices with the following s...
