Silicon nanopyramids with the excellent ability of light absorption have been mostly reported in solar cells. Here, we report an obviously enhanced lateral photovoltaic effect (LPE) in copper-nanoparticle-covered random Si nanopyramids (Cu@Si-pyramid). Remarkable photoelectric responses are achieved in broadband from 405 to 780 nm. Furthermore, a prominent LPE is double-enhanced from 74.0 to 157.9 mV mm-1 when the linear region decreases from 3 to 1 mm. Finite-difference time-domain simulation is applied to investigate the origin of the exceptional results. This work declares a position-sensitive property of Si-nanopyramid systems and proposes promising applications to photodetections based on LPE.

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
