Depending on the sizes of the CdS crystallites and silicon pores, electrical and photoelectrical characteristics of c-Si/porous-Si/CdS heterojunctions prepared by electrochemical deposition and anodization, respectively, are studied. The optimal pore size (10-16 nm) is determined, which provides the maximum photoelectric conversion efficiency (7.71%) of heterojunctions.
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.
