Which outcome occurs when dislocations impede grain boundary diffusion in a polycrystalline silicon crystal?

💡 Explanation

Reduced photovoltaic cell efficiency occurs because grain boundary diffusion facilitates dopant distribution essential for optimal charge separation, therefore reduced diffusion leads to suboptimal functioning, rather than affecting toughness or thermoelectric properties. Pinning happens due to dislocation entanglement.
