Short Communication Silicon nitride anti-reflection coatings for CdS/CuInSe2 thin film solar cells by electron beam assisted chemical vapor deposition
The electron beam assisted chemical vapor deposit ion of silicon nitride anti-reflection coatings onto thin film CdS/CuInSe2 solar cells and the resultant effects on their performance are reported. In some cases large increases in the short circuit current, open circuit voltage and fill factor were observed. The present results are explained by the usual index matching anti-reflection mechanism...
متن کاملPreparation of Nanocrystalline CdS Thin Films by a New Chemical Bath Deposition Route for Application in Solar Cells as Antireflection Coatings
Nanocrystalline cadmium sulfide thin films as antireflection materials for solar cells have been prepared by a new chemical solution deposition route in an aqueous medium at 50 °C. as-deposited thin films were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and optical absorption spectra. X-ray diffraction data indicated the formation of hexagonal na...
متن کاملPOLYCRYSTALLINE THIN FILM SOLAR CELLS: Present Status and Future Potential
Polycrystalline thin film solar cells based on copper indium diselenide (CuInSe2) and its alloys and cadmium telluride (CdTe) appear to be the most promising candidates for largescale application of photovoltaic energy conversion because they have shown laboratoryefficiencies in excess of 15%. Heterejunction devices with n-type cadmium sulfide (CdS) films show very low minority carrier recombin...
متن کاملCyclic Voltammetry Investigation of the Mechanism of CuInSe2 and CuIn(Al)Se2 Electrodeposition from Aqueous Solution
Electrodeposition of CuInSe2 (CIS) and CuInAlSe2 (CIAS) from aqueous solution has been systematically investigated by cyclic voltammetery implementing different scan rates. It has been shown that electrodeposited CIS and CIAS have been formed on the substrate through electrochemical-chemical interaction of reduces species on the substrate. From the obtained results, it could be inferred that I...
متن کاملCuIn(Se,S)2 Absorbers Processed using a Hydrazine-Based Solution Approach
With tunable bandgap and demonstrated high efficiency, the chalcopyrite CuInSe2 and its alloys have shown great potential as absorbers for single and multi-junction solar cells. However, the current deposition techniques mostly rely on expensive vacuum-based processing or involve complicated precursor solution preparation. These higher-cost absorber preparation processes make it difficult to co...
