We demonstrate a simple wafer-scale process by which an individual silicon wafer can be processed into a multifunctional platform where one side is adapted to replace platinum and enable triiodide reduction in a dye-sensitized solar cell and the other side provides on-board charge storage as an electrochemical supercapacitor.
The fabrication process starts from cleaving an n-type silicon wafer into 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm chips. These are then cleaned using RCA1 (H 2 O 2 –NH 4 OH–H 2 O) and RCA2 (H 2 O 2 –HCl–H 2 O) solution, as well as a Piranha Etch (H 2 SO 4 –H 2 O 2).
