Nanowires form efficient solar cells
through the research of professor Tonio Buonassisi where nanowire production is tightly controlled. These concepts are being proven in the lab prior to scale-up and
commercialization. …
… “The spacing of the wires is controlled by textures created on the surface — tiny dimples can form centers for the copper droplets — but the size of the wires is controlled by the temperatures used for the diffusion stage of the process. Thus, unlike in other production methods, the size and spacing of the wires can be controlled independently of each other, Buonassisi says.” …
