【 摘 要 】

Nowadays hybrid (inorganic-organic) solar cells have become centre for attractive research for their comparatively low cost and fundamental research for prominent organic - inorganic hetero-junction. This review mainly aims to focus on the basic concepts of silicon nanowires (Si-NWs) hybrid solar cells including different fabrication and characterization procedures and the fundamental aspects on which solar cell works. Various techniques have been reported for the synthesis of Si-NWs such as CVD, Oxide assisted growth, Lithography and electro-less metal assisted chemical etching. A further discussion is made on the various characterization procedures such as SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, UV-Vis, PL, FTIR, Raman and IV for both Si-NWs and the hybrid solar cell. Furthermore a comparison has also been made between various solar cells with the help of a table showing different Si-NWs hybrid solar cell and their efficiencies.
