Flexible polymer-embedded Si wire arrays

Abstract

Arrays of Si rods are embedded in PDMS and removed from the rigid growth substrate, resulting in a composite material that merges the benefits of single-crystalline silicon with the flexibility of a polymer. With this technique, solar cell absorber materials with the potential to achieve high efficiency can be prepared by high-temperature processing and transformed into a flexible, processable form.
