PbS nanoparticles and CdS nanoparticles are grown by chemical methods. Also bulk PbS is grown by simple chemical methods without using any capping agent. The material formation is identified from XRD.TEM image shows the formation of different shaped PbS nanoparticles, CdS nanoparticles, and bulk PbS. Three different heterojunction solar cells are fabricated by CdS and PbS samples using a spin coating technique. Finally, gold is evaporated on PbS film. Current-voltage characteristics data for three heterojunction solar cells are taken under dark and illumination conditions. For each fabricated solar cell open-circuit voltage (VOC), short circuit current density (ISC), fill factor (FF), and power conversion efficiency(

) are measured. Finally, a comparison of the characteristics is done for different fabricated heterojunction solar cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
