Abstract

Nanowires (NWs) based on III-V compound semiconductors possess great potentials for next generation energy conversion, light emitting devices with improved performance and reduced cost, and are an ideal platform for future quantum technology applications. Free-standing III-V NW heterostructures are therefore attracting a steady research interest worldwide. Photovoltaic solar cells (SCs) based on arrays of III-V compound NWs possess potentials for enormous improvement in solar power conversion efficiency. A strategy to achieve this goal is through improved light management of the incident sun light and multiband absorption. Three examples of these properties will be reported in this work.
