“…The crystallite sizes of Cu and Cu 2 O were determined to be 49.2(3) nm and 69.8(6) nm, respectively. The last value of crystallite size of Cu 2 O also denotes the p-type layer conductivity [3,13]. Figure 1b shows the uneven surface morphology of Cu 2 O layer obtained from a scanning electron microscope (SEM).…”

Cuprous (I) oxide (Cu2O)-based solar cells were fabricated with the use of the electrodeposition technique at nanometre-scale, and the structural, morphological and electrical properties were investigated. The Cu2O layers were electrodeposited on crystalline and polycrystalline copper substrates. To complete the Cu2O/Cu(100) and Cu2O/Cu interfaces as the solar cells the top electrodes of silver paste were painted on the rear of Cu2O. The microscopic analysis exhibits uneven surface morphologies of a Cu2O film with the roughness of 92.5 nm, while the X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the layers are Cu2O-type polycrystalline structures with the thickness of 493 nm and the crystallite size of 69.8(6) nm. The theoretical analysis of the current-voltage curve was provided to determine the values of electrical parameters of the most efficient solar cell of Ag/Cu2O/Cu(100) and clearly indicate presence of two Schottky barriers at interfaces.

“…Photoluminescence, PL were measured at a temperature of 10 K using a continuous wave YAG laser of a wavelength of 532 nm as a light source. Photovoltaic characteristics and spectral quantum efficiency of the obtained Cu 2 O film was evaluated under air-mass (AM) 1.5 illumination by preparing Cu 2 O/ZnO/Al-doped ZnO (AZO) diode cells details of which were reported in elsewhere [29]. In the spectral quantum efficiency measurement, it was found that the spectral shape was remarkably deformed by the change of the photoconductivity of the ZnO layer depending on the incident light wavelength.…”

Room temperature sputtering deposition and re-crystallization of the deposited thin films by rapid thermal annealing have been evaluating in detail as a formation method of Cu 2 O active layer for solar cells, which minimize thermal budget in fabrication processes. Single phase polycrystalline Cu 2 O films were obtained by a magnetron rf sputtering deposition and its crystallinity and electrical characteristics were controlled by the annealing. Hall mobility was improved up to 17 cm 2 V -1 s -1 by the annealing at 600°C for 30s. Since this value was smaller than 47 cm 2 V -1 s -1 of the film deposited under thermal equilibrium state using pulsed laser deposition at 600°C, some contrivances were necessary to compensate the deficiency. It was understood that the sputter-deposited Cu 2 O films on (111)-oriented Pt films were strongly oriented to (111) face also by the self-assembly and the crystallinity was improved by the annealing preserving its orientation. The sputter-deposited film quality was expected to become equivalent to the pulsed laser deposition film from the results of X-ray diffractometry and photoluminescence.

Рассматриваются перспективы создания солнечных элементов на основе оксидов металлов с объемным гетеропереходом, при этом ZnO был сформирован методом гидротермального синтеза. Представлены результаты синтеза наностержней оксида цинка на различных затравочных слоях. Отмечена значительная роль операции формирования зародышевого слоя. Показана возможность управления структурой массивов наностержней посредством использования поверхностно-активного вещества. Полученные ограненные наностержни перспективны для получения солнечных элементов нового поколения. DOI: 10.21883/FTP.2017.01.8356
