Photoelectrochemical solarcells on the basis of Si can be fabricated with standart electrochemical methods. However, corrosion of the semiconductor surface leads to a degeneration of such cells. Attemps have been made to passivate the Si surface with an oxide while allowing charge transfer through metal deposits on the surface. Thus efficiencies of more than 10% can be achived. We present experimental results of various preparation methods of anodic oxides on Si. The deposion of Pt nanoemitters on the electrode through pores in the oxide layer is investigated. The interface density of states was examined by capacitance measurements. Low interface density states can be achived by anodic oxidation in phtalate solutions. Model experiments of electrochemically deposited Pt with synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy show that Si is oxidized during Pt-deposition, thus reducing the influence of metal induced gap states at the interface.
