▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - The structure has an enhancing layer that is configured to increase the absorption of light incident upon the structure. The enhancing layer is provided with a wrinkled graphene layer that is configured to trap light with the PV structure. The aluminum nanoparticles (102) are configured to scatter light into the PV structure. The wrinkled layer is provided on a light-receiving side of the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles are provided on a light-receiving side of the wrinkled layer. The wrinkled layer is formed of wrinkled graphene sheets (104). USE - Photovoltaic (PV) structure for generating electrical power from light. ADVANTAGE - Since the aluminum nanoparticles are provided on the light-receiving surface for scattering the sunlight into the semiconductor layer, the generation of the electrical power is improved. The solar conversion efficiencies caused by inclusion of the PV structures with an enhancing layer is enhanced, thus the trapping of incident sunlight in the cells is improved. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following: (1) a method of manufacturing a photovoltaic (PV) structure; and (2) a method for generating electrical power from light. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a perspective view of the aluminum-nanoparticle-enhanced and graphene-enhanced textured crystalline silicon solar cell.
