Simply transferring chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene on textured semiconductor would lead to limited contact area between graphene and textured semiconductor. To improve this drawback, mechanically exfoliated graphene dispersed in N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP) solution is used instead of CVD graphene to achieve the contact of the graphene with the inner part of the textured substrate in this work. Performances of Schottky junction solar cells made from CVD graphene and mechanically exfoliated graphene were also compared.
