Copper-indium-gallium-diselenide nanoparticles synthesized by a solvothermal method for solar cell application

Zinc Oxide Sputter Deposition and Modeling of Copper Indium Gallium-diselenide-based Thin Film Solar Cells

3 To my beloved parents and family 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Dr. Crisalle is the chair of my supervisory committee and I express my sincere appreciation for his guidance and constant encouragement through the last five years. I am also obliged to thank Dr. Hoflund, Dr. Svoronos and Dr. Eisenstadt for their valuable discussions and serving as my research committee members. Of course my gratitude should ...

Copper nanocoils synthesized through solvothermal method

Recently helical nanostructures such as nanosprings and nanocoils have drawn great interests in nanotechnology, due to their unique morphologies and physical properties, and they may be potential building blocks in sorts of electromechanical, magnetic, photoelectronic and plasmonic devices at micro/nanoscales. In this report, multi-turns copper nanocoils were synthesized through a modified solv...

Direct observation of copper depletion and potential changes at copper indium gallium diselenide grain boundaries

One-pot electrodeposition, characterization and photoactivity of stoichiometric copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin films for solar cellswzy

Herein we report the one-pot electrodeposition of copper indium gallium diselenide, CuIn1 xGaxSe2 (CIGS), thin films as the p-type semiconductor in an ionic liquid medium consisting of choline chloride/urea eutectic mixture known as Reline. The thin films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectr...
