Abstract

For solar cell applications SWNTs have superiorities in terms of the wide spectrum of absorption ranging from near-infrared to visible wavelength, high electrical conductivity at high transparency as well as the possibility multiple exciton generation. Combined with earth abundance and chemical stability, the SWNT is supposed to be a promising candidate for next-generation solar cells. In this study, we are trying to control the diameter of SWNTs and their microscale assembly for the applications of SWNT-Si solar cells.
