Si衬底上插入SiO2膜对Ag纳米颗粒陷光性能的影响

采用磁控溅射法在Si衬底上制备了SiO2介质膜,系统地研究了SiO2膜引入对Ag纳米颗粒的表面覆盖率、形貌、形成机理和光学性质的影响.研究发现引入SiO2介质膜后,Ag纳米颗粒的表面覆盖率显著增加,平均粒径明显降低.基于现有的Ag纳米颗粒形成机理,提出了粗糙表面Ag膜断裂模型以解释其形貌发生变化的原因.紫外-可见光分光光度计测试表明,引入SiO2膜并优化其厚度,可使Ag纳米颗粒的偶极消光峰最大红移86nm,但消光峰强度明显下降.数值模拟计算表明,引入SiO2膜的Ag纳米颗粒所能散射的光子数量最小减少2×1018个.因此,在Si衬底上沉积SiO2膜,不利于Ag纳米颗粒陷光性能的提高.

Enhancement of light trapping in thin-film solar cells through Ag

Forward-scattering efficiency (FSE) is first proposed when an Ag nanoparticle serves as the light-trapping structure for thin-film (TF) solar cells because the Ag nanoparticle’s light-trapping efficiency lies on the light-scattering direction of metal nanoparticles.Based on FSE analysis of Ag nanoparticles with radii of 53 and 88 nm,the forward-scattering spectra and light-trapping efficiencies are calculated.The contributions of dipole and quadrupole modes to light-trapping effect are also analyzed quantitatively.When the surface coverage of Ag nanoparticles is 5%,light-trapping efficiencies are 15.5% and 32.3%,respectively,for 53and 88-nm Ag nanoparticles.Results indicate that the plasmon quadrupole mode resonance of Ag nanoparticles could further enhance the light-trapping effect for TF solar cells.
