Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems are being deployed at an accelerating rate to supply low-carbon electricity worldwide. However, PV is unlikely to economically supply much more than 10% of the world's electricity unless there is a dramatic redu

This article presents an overview of the fabrication methods of black silicon, their resulting morphologies, and a quantitative comparison of their optoelectronic properties. To perform this quantitative comparison, different groups working on black

We produce low-reflectivity nanostructured ‘black’ silicon (bSi) using copper (Cu) nanoparticles as the catalyst for metal-assisted etching and demonstrate a 17.0%-efficient Cu-etched bSi solar cell without any vacuum-deposited anti-reflection co

Metalloenzymes featuring earth-abundant metal-based cores exhibit rates for catalytic processes such as hydrogen evolution comparable to those of noble metals. Realizing these superb catalytic properties in artificial systems is challenging owing to

We demonstrate a novel micropixelation strategy to stabilize the p–i hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) photocathodes used for hydrogen production in photoelectrochemical water splitting. The main mechanism of corrosion of planar electrodes in

The amine density of 3-aminopropyldimethylethoxysilane (APDMES) films on silica is controlled to determine its effect on DNA probe density and subsequent DNA hybridization. The amine density is tailored by controlling the surface reaction time of (1)

We have demonstrated that hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) is an excellent technique to produce high-quality epitaxial silicon at high rates, at substrate temperatures from 620 to 800 °C. Fast, scalable, inexpensive epitaxy of high-quality
