The Kolbe reaction forms carbon-carbon bonds through electrochemical decarboxylative
coupling. Despite more than a century of study, the reaction has seen limited applications …

Anti-reflective coatings (ARCs) have evolved into highly effective reflectance and glare
reducing components for various optical and opto-electrical equipments. Extensive research …

A high Schottky barrier (> 0.65 eV) for electrons is typically found on lightly doped n‐type
crystalline (c‐Si) wafers for a variety of contact metals. This behavior is commonly attributed …

Optical reflection, or in other words the loss of reflection, from a surface becomes
increasingly crucial in determining the extent of the light-matter interaction. The simplest …

We design porous silicon (Si) nanoparticles with both nanosize and porous structures via a
simple alkaline etching method. The etching at grain boundaries and the anisotropic etching …

In this study, we present a novel application of thin magnesium fluoride films to form electron–
selective contacts to n-type crystalline silicon (c-Si). This allows the demonstration of a …

Transfer printing is a materials assembly technique that uses elastomeric stamps for
heterogeneous integration of various classes of micro‐and nanostructured materials into two …

A surface texture enhances the capacity of a solar cell to absorb incident radiation. In high
efficiency and industry standard designs alike, pyramidal surface textures play the key role …
