Abstract
In this study, a flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) ARL with embedded ZnO-NRs was fabricated on the surfaces of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells using the chemical solution method. Under the conditions of an AM1.5G solar spectrum, the application of the PDMS ARL of embedded ZnO-NRs on the surface of a CIGS solar cell can effectively increase the conversion efficiency of the solar cell from 7.23% to 7.79%. In addition, broadband and omnidirectional light harvesting are important as the sun moves over time; therefore, omnidirectional anti-reflection applications of various ARLs on CIGS photovoltaic cells were also studied.
