Abstract

A novel hybrid of quasi-random nanostructures and Archimedean spiral arrangement light trapping coating, and its low-cost, fast-production technique are presented here. Both numerical simulations and experiments confirmed the superiority of efficiency enhancement and omnidirectional light-trapping capacity when coating the created nanostructures on thin-film solar cells.
