Abstract

Effective electron–hole separation at a p–n junction is important for the efficiency of a solar cell. Band structure modification at the junction can be achieved by the piezo-phototronic effect, which is demonstrated in this chapter for tuning the solar cell output made using poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-ZnO micro/nanowire and a n-CdS/p-Cu2S coaxial nanowire. This effect offers a new concept for improving solar energy conversation efficiency by designing the orientation of the nanowires and the strain to be purposely introduced in the packaging of the solar cells.
