Efficiency Improvement of Solar Cell with ZnO Nanotip Array Prepared by Aqueous Solution Deposition

Abstract

ZnO nanotips were synthesized on a sputtered ZnO buffer layer/ITO/glass by aqueous solution deposition with precursors of zinc nitrate and ammonia. Growth direction of ZnO nanotips can be controlled by the thickness of sputtered ZnO buffer layer. The average height of 13 μm was obtained at 70 °C for 24 hr and the diameter of ZnO nanotips was ranged from 60 nm to 100 nm.
