Here, hybrid SiNWs/PEDOT:PSS blended graphene oxide (GO) solar cells are prepared and investigated. The SiNWs/PEDOT:PSS blended GO cells show enhanced light trapping and a large junction area when compared to pure PEDOT:PSS structures. SiNWs combined with GO solar cells show energy conversion efficiencies of up to 9.57% under the AM 1.5G condition, opening the possibility of using semiconductor/graphene oxide in photovoltaic applications. © 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.[SDGs]SDG7Conducting polymers; Cost effectiveness; Graphene; Nanowires; Semiconductor junctions; Silicon solar cells; Solar power generation; 3 ,4-ethylenedioxythiophene; High-efficiency; Hybrid solar cells; Light-trapping; Photovoltaic applications; Poly(styrene sulfonate); Schottky junctions; Silicon nanowires; Siliconjournal article10.1063/1.4914187
