FORMATION AND APPLICATION OF BLACK POROUS SILICON FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY

Abstract

Sunlight is the most abundant source of potential energy on the planet. It is important to note that while the usage of solar energy increases significantly in the world, the prices prominently decrease. Using performed black porous silicon , it is possible to produce even cheaper solar cells with higher efficiency, that is important today.
In this work the current state of photovoltaic (PV) and crystalline silicon usage was overviewed, and the application producing by three different methods and optical properties of black silicon samples were presented and discussed.
