Abstract :
This work reports application of core-shell nanoparticles in photovoltaic cells. These nanoparticles were fabricated form silicon carbide core covered with conductive form of polyaniline. The nanoparticles were dispersed in the active layer of the cell. It was found that this modification raised quantum efficiency of the photovoltaic cell by factor of three in comparison to a test cell without nanoparticles.
