The texturing of multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si) for solar cells with HF/HNO3 acidic solution has been investigated in this work. The recipe of texturing solution was studied to eliminate grain boundaries and defects which may appear in the texturing process. The effect of etch depth on large size solar cell process was also discussed. It is suggested that appropriate etch depth may enhance the surface quality of solar cells without negative effect on the incident light trapping. The result shows that elimination of deep grain boundaries and defects and enhancement of surface quality improves cell performance by increasing the open circuit voltage and the short circuit current.","PeriodicalId":6427,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Materials for Renewable Energy and Environment","volume":"51 1","pages":"31-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75914351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At first, the BiOCl thin film was prepared on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate via a simple sol-gel dip-coating technique. Then the Cu2O thin film was fabricated on the surface of the BiOCl thin film by magnetron sputtering. Their photocatalytic activities were evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under UV and visible light irradiation, respectively. It was found that the photocatalytic activity of the Cu2O/BiOCl composite films was higher than single BiOCl thin film and single Cu2O thin film. The photocatalytic efficiency of the as-synthesized films seems to strongly depend, that is mainly due to both of the Cu2O works as a sensitizer absorbing visible light and the Cu2O/BiOCl hetero-junction promoting the separation rate of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. The mechanism has been discussed on the interparticle charge transfer between two semiconductors while they have the suitable relative band position.","PeriodicalId":6427,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Materials for Renewable Energy and Environment","volume":"46 1","pages":"662-665"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87163209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Solarwall technology provides an economic and applicable solution for heating and ventilation, and nowadays it is widely used in buildings. An aim of this article was to analyze the air flow and heat transfer inside solarwall. We used realizable k-ε model of FLUENT to simulate conditions of different air supply velocities, indicating the temperature distribution and air velocity distribution inside solarwall. Results showed that the temperature inside the solarwall fluctuated with the holes position. Furthermore, on the width direction sections temperature varied with the absorbed solar radiation intensity, while on the highly direction sections the peak and valley value of average temperature were both declined along the increase of height. However the increase of air supply velocity weakened the effects of solar radiation and uniformed the air temperature in highly direction. The average air velocity presented an upward trend from the bottom to the top, yet a dramatic decline occurred on the area where air flow direction changed.","PeriodicalId":6427,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Materials for Renewable Energy and Environment","volume":"12 1","pages":"454-457"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88419475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
