In this study, we introduce an innovative silicon solar cell design aimed at enhancing both current density and overall efficiency. This novel architecture features a unique combination of alternating or window-shaped doping profiles at the top layer, complemented by a graphene grating layer situated in the middle, and strategically positioned gold nanoparticles between the doping and grating layers. We conducted a comprehensive performance evaluation of various solar cell configurations, including a basic silicon solar cell, cells with window doping, grating, nanoparticles, and a combination of doping, nanoparticles, and grating. Our findings reveal that the proposed structure, with its synergistic integration of grating, window-shaped doping, and nanoparticles, significantly amplifies the electric field strength within the active region. This enhancement leads to a remarkable improvement in solar cell performance, highlighted by a quantum efficiency value reaching up to 81%, a short-circuit current density of 35 mA/cm^2, a fill factor (FF) of 83%, and an open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.66 V. These results underscore the potential of the proposed design in pushing the boundaries of silicon solar cell efficiency and performance.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
