Osaka University has created front and back coatings to improve the efficiency of silicon solar cells, without resort to expensive vacuum treatment. The front coating is anti-reflective – a component of almost all solar cells – and created using a wet process based on ‘surface structure chemical transfer’ (SSCT), using it to fabricate so-called ‘black ...
