Abstract
Surface reconstruction of nanostructured solar cell has been carried out using lasers. The reconstruction process was conducted throughout two stages. First, texturing the flat surface of an ordinary solar cell by photelectrochemical etching using a laser beam and second; embeds phosphorous layer within the nanostructured surface using Q-switched laser beam. We have also studied the effect of applied current density on the surface morphology using AFM and SEM. Electrical and morphological investigation was also carried out to examine the nanostructured solar cell.
