  • Publication number: 20110308594
    Abstract: The present invention provides a solar cell, which has an improved light-trapping structure, wherein the light trapping structure is a single layer of thin film made of a plurality of zinc oxide microballs whose diameter is ranged between 300 nm and 650 nm. In a preferred embodiment, the light trapping layer, being configured with a plurality of microballs made of zinc oxide, is disposed at a position between the front surface of a photovoltaic conversion layer and a front electrode of the solar cell. Since the light-trapping structure is formed directly from the ZnO transparent conductive layer of the solar cell, the types of materials used for constructing the solar cell are reduced.

  • Publication number: 20080047826
    Abstract: A protective coating is formed on a stainless interconnecting plate used in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). With the protective coating, a contact resistance of the plate is effectively lowered. Anode and cathode of SOFC are also prevented from being poisoned by chromium diffusion from the plate. Therefore, after a long time of use under a high temperature, a degradation rate for power generating of SOFC is reduced; and, thus, a working hour is prolonged. Hence, the SOFC can be mass-produced and large-scaled.
