The thermolytic deposition of MoS2 nanolayers for use in Si solar cells is investigated for which a thin MoS2 nanolayer is grown on a crystalline Si substrate by the thermolysis method. The deposited MoS2 nanolayer and Si substrate are annealed and show a transition from an amorphous to a crystalline phase as the annealing temperature increases. The MoS2 (002) crystalline peak at 14.04° appears at an annealing temperature of 450 °C. The heterojunction interface of MoS2/np‐Si shows a mixed amorphous and crystalline phase. The Al/MoS2 has better Ohmic contact compared with Al/Si. The MoS2 nanolayer is introduced into the cell structure of a SiNx/a‐Si(n)/MoS2/np‐Si cell, the cell shows a photoconversion efficiency of 11.47%.
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.
