| Abstract | Silicon nanostructures promise to reduce light loss and increase the power conversion efficiency of photovoltaic devices. So far, however, solar cells based on nanostructured silicon exhibit lower power conversion efficiency than conventional solar cells due to the enhanced surface recombination associated with the nanostructures and poor front electrode contact. Here, we report a simple and effective way to modify silicon nanostructures grown on pyramid-structure surface by using ammonium hydroxide (NH$_{4}$OH) and hydrogen peroxide (H$_{2}$O$_{2}$) solution. Through the process, silicon nanostructures are etched off at the peaks of pyramid-structures, thus the coverage rate of nanostructures on pyramids declines to 0.3. The surface modification dramatically suppresses the carrier recombination and the effective minority carrier lifetime is improved from 10.1 to 26.0 μs, thus the resulted open current circuit voltage (V$_{oc}$) increases from 595 to 602 mV. The decrease of coverage rate of nanostructures reduces contact area between metal electrodes and nanostructured surface and the front electrode contact improves, thus the contact resistivity declines from 4.107 × 10$^{−4}$ to 7.805 × 10$^{−5}$ Ω/cm$^{2}$ and series resistance declines from 0.63 to 0.46 Ω. Although the average reflectance in the visible spectrum region increases about 2 % after the treatment, combining of these aspects, the reformed solar cells show higher conversion efficiency than conventional nanostructured silicon solar cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
