Carbon nanotube net as a conductive and transparent film for solar energy conversion

Vertically aligned silicon nanowires arrays have been grown through a metal-assisted chemical etching method, giving a heavily absorbing surface. Over this surface, a transparent and conductive net of carbon nanotubes has been formed by chemical vapour deposition. The optical characterisation of the...

Sumario:Vertically aligned silicon nanowires arrays have been grown through a metal-assisted chemical etching method, giving a heavily absorbing surface. Over this surface, a transparent and conductive net of carbon nanotubes has been formed by chemical vapour deposition. The optical characterisation of the net has been performed by the study of its hemispherical reflectance, and the electrical properties have been obtained by four-point probe method. A high transmittance of the net (over 99%) in the 300-900 nm range is reported. Also, a good sheet resistance value has been obtained (around 3 kΩ/□) for such a thin carbon nanotube net
