“…There are recent studies that show that the use of silica nanospheres in photovoltaic devices provides a larger light trapping, leading to an enhancement in the short-circuit current density and resulting in a performance improvement of these devices. In these works [24][25][26][27][28][29], increases in the short-circuit current density between 11.5% and 42.5% have been reported.…”

In this work, we synthesized colloidal silica nanospheres with an average size of 400 nm through the modified Stöber method and successfully fabricated an ordered close-packed silica nanosphere monolayer onto ITO-coated glass substrates using a three-step spin-coating method. ITO films showed resistivity comparable to that of commercial ITO and the silica nanosphere monolayer-coated ITO/glass substrate exhibited good optical transmittance in the visible (550 nm) and near-infrared (900 nm) regions of 62% and 82%, respectively. The results suggest that this monolayer can be used in optoelectronic devices to enhance efficiency in photovoltaic cells.
