title: Conductive black silicon surface made by silver nanonetwork assisted etching.
abstract: Conductive black silicon surfaces (CBSSs) are fabricated by Ag network-assisted catalytic etching, with the Ag network buried in silicon for low reflectance. The CBSSs present a high light absorbance of 97% and good electrical conductivity of less than 10 Ω/□. The CBSSs might be used as anti-reflection-coating free light-harvesting devices.
