Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have succeeded in continuously fabricating size-controlled crystalline silicon nanoparticles by using low temperature plasma. For controlling size and structure, gas pressure and H2 dilution ratio of SiH4 are key parameters. We fabricated Schottky cells using synthesized Si nanoparticles which shows multiple exciton generation for photon energy with 3 times larger than their band gap. We utilized the particles to nanoparticle-sensitized solar cells which show the world best efficiency. Moreover, we found the nanoparticle composite polymer counter electrode is promising to low-cost and high performance solar cells.
