- •
Embedded CdS nanowires–CdTe solar cells were fabricated and characterized.
- •
These cells exhibited a nearly ideal spectral response of quantum efficiency.
- •
Embedded CdS nanowires enabled enhanced mechanical & electrical robustness in cells.
- •
Power conversion efficiency of 12% was achieved; record high for nanowire devices.
- •
Embedded CdS nanowires enabled reduced degradation in un-encapsulated devices.
