Shimla, Sept. 9 -- Scientists believe that the future of solar energy lies in enhancing the efficiency of existing silicon-based solar cells, which currently face limitations due to low energy conversion rates.
A promising solution being suggested is the application of anti-reflective coatings on hollow silicon nanoparticles, which can significantly improve light absorption and efficiency.
At an international lecture organized by the Department of Physics, Himachal Pradesh University (HPU), Prof. Hendrik C. Swart of the University of the Free State, South Africa, highlighted the potential of advanced nanotechnology in overcoming current efficiency barriers in solar cell technology.
He explained that conventional solar panels often requir...
