Spectroscopy of Deep Traps in Cu2S-CdS Junction Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cu2S-CdS junctions of the polycrystalline material layers have been examined by combining the capacitance deep level transient spectroscopy technique together with white LED light additional illumination (C-DLTS-WL) and the photo-ionization spectroscopy (PIS) implemented by the photocurrent probing. Three types of junction structures, separated by using the barrier capacitance characteristics of the junctions and correlated with XRD distinguished precipitates of the polycrystalline layers, exhibit different deep trap spectra within CdS substrates.

Performances of some low-cost counter electrode materials in CdS and CdSe quantum dot-sensitized solar cells
Different counter electrode (CE) materials based on carbon and Cu2S were prepared for the application in CdS and CdSe quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). The CEs were prepared using low-cost and facile methods. Platinum was used as the reference CE material to compare the performances of the other materials. While carbon-based materials produced the best solar cell performance in CdS Q...

Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique has been used to deposit composite multilayers of poly(3-octylthiophene) with cadmium arachidate (POT-CdA), zinc arachidate (POT-ZnA) and copper arachidate (POT-CuA). These composite multilayers were used as precursors to develop the respective semiconducting CdS, ZnS and Cu2S nanoclusters in the POT-arachidic acid (POT-AA) matrix. The formation of sulphide nano...
متن کاملCore-Shell CdS-Cu₂S Nanorod Array Solar Cells.
As an earth-abundant p-type semiconductor, copper sulfide (Cu2S) is an attractive material for application in photovoltaic devices. However, it suffers from a minority carrier diffusion length that is less than the length required for complete light absorption. Core-shell nanowires and nanorods have the potential to alleviate this difficulty because they decouple the length scales of light abso...
