“…The MoSe 2 crystal structure containing niobium or other impurities has the potential for electrical and optical applications. MoSe 2 nanostructures were deposited on polysilicon solar cells using hydrothermal technology to study the antireflection performance by S. Santhosh et al [35] D1 (458 nm), D2 (567 nm), D3 (761 nm), and D4 (761 nm) cell samples with different thicknesses of antireflection films were deposited on the cell surface for 30, 60, 90, and 120 min. The experimental data showed that the carrier concentration and the Hall mobility of the samples increased with a decrease in resistivity.…”

The antireflection coating (ARC) suppresses surface light loss and thus improves the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of solar cells, which is its essential function. This paper reviews the latest applications of antireflection optical thin films in different types of solar cells and summarizes the experimental data. Basic optical theories of designing antireflection coatings, commonly used antireflection materials, and their classic combinations are introduced. Since single and double antireflection coatings no longer meet the research needs in terms of antireflection effect and bandwidth, the current research mainly concentrates on multiple layer antireflection coatings, for example, adjusting the porosity or material components to achieve a better refractive index matching and the reflection effect. However, blindly stacking the antireflection films is unfeasible, and the stress superposition would allow the film layer to fail quickly. The gradient refractive index (GRIN) structure almost eliminates the interface, which significantly improves the adhesion and permeability efficiency. The high-low-high-low refractive index (HLHL) structure achieves considerable antireflection efficiency with fewer materials while selecting materials with opposite stress properties improves the ease of stress management. However, more sophisticated techniques are needed to prepare these two structures. Furthermore, using fewer materials to achieve a better antireflection effect and reduce the impact of stress on the coatings is a research hotspot worthy of attention.

“…The incident light will reflect between the sloped surfaces, strengthening the interaction between the incident light and the semiconductor surface. The second layer is protected by a single or multi-layer antireflective coating [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. These coatings are typically very thin, with an optical thickness of about one-quarter to one-half the incident wavelength.…”

In this research, a detailed abacus adventure and statistic obsession are made to survey the relation of fractions of materials of the anti-reflective coating to effectiveness of a solar cell. Emphasis on the study of whether single or double-layer layers of coatings save energy reflection and improve absorption is done leading to energy conservation. The anti-reflective coating is a familiar term in the solar technology, as it is less realistic without the coating that minimizes the light reflection losses. By way of single or double coating, light transmission increased is by limiting reflection therefore making the surfaces of solar cells to receive more light improving efficiency. These finer details of the coating's power over the solar cells' light absorption depth and output effectiveness are thoughtfully and minutely deliberated. A great deal of numerical methods are used to model light and sunlight impinging on the coated solar cell environments. Light waves' behaviour, when meet an antireflection layer, is a very important aspect in explaining, to some extent, about the thickness of the layer and its materials composition. That is a great role, namely, statistical techniques in this study whose purpose is used to main performance gain in the solar cells. Through simulation and experimental data, correlations are established between solar cell performance and the coating’s parameters. The patterns found will be taken into consideration to further improve the coating. This research, not just performed steps by step analysis of reflection, absorption and power conversion features in solar cells coated; rather, guidelines to excellent anti-reflective coating were offered too. The clarification of complex connections between the performance of coating construction and solar cells performance is enabled in this research and its results significantly contribute towards the development of renewable energy engineering, hence giving the research a certain weight in the field of solar energy.

Solar cells are capable of converting light energy into electrical energy and can completely replace the utilization of fossil fuel energy resources. The current research work majorly concentrates on the development and coating of antireflection materials over the front contact of silicon solar cells. Ferrous disulphide was one of the wide band gap semiconductors employed as a catalytic electrode (in DSSCs), counter electrode (in QDSSs), and solar energy harvester. FeS2 was synthesized through the hydrothermal method. The antireflective coating was performed over solar cells through the electrospraying technique. It was found that the antireflective material was distributed evenly over the coating substrate at 2 ml/h for 30 (F1), 60 (F2), 90 (F3), and 120 (F4) min. The coated solar cells were examined under neodymium light illumination mimicking sunlight. The effect of electrosprayed FeS2 films adhered over the front contact of solar cells was evaluated using various characterization techniques. The maximum efficiency attained by coated solar cells under indirect light was 19.6%. With the aid of electrospraying, hydrothermally synthesized FeS2 assists incoming photons with energy greater than the bandgap of a procured Si solar cell to take part in the photogeneration process. The maximum Isc and Voc of 38.08 mA/cm2 and 0.655 V were achieved for the F3 solar cell under neodymium irradiation.
