Electrical properties of p-type ZnTe thin films by immersion in Cu solution

An overview on the role of ZnTe as an efficient interface in CdTe thin film solar cells: a review

“…In the CdTe-based device with a superstrate architecture, this rear metal contact has the task of collecting the charge carriers at the absorber side by contacting the device with an external circuit. [200][201][202][203][204][205][206][207] To date, CdTe solar cell devices with the architecture of glass/MZO/CdSeTe/CdTe/ZnTe/metal contact have demonstrated the maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 22.1%. 32,69,208 CdTe devices with the configuration of glass/FTO/CdS/CdTe/CdCl 2 /ZnTe:Cu/Au demonstrated a PCE of 11.25%, where Cu-doped ZnTe was applied as the back contact.…”

Influence of substrate temperature on the properties of ZnTe:Cu films prepared by a magnetron co-sputtering method

“…In general, during the growth process of the ZnTe:Cu film, secondary phases and clusters of hexagonal ZnTe (h-ZnTe) or Cu x Te may appear at elevated substrate temperatures or under post-annealing treatment [ 18 , 21 , 23 ]. Fig.…”

“…A variety of deposition techniques have been carried out to fabricate Cu doped ZnTe (ZnTe:Cu) films, including thermal evaporation [ 6 , 16 , 17 ], pulsed laser deposition (PLD) [ 18 , 19 ] and magnetron sputtering [ [20] , [21] , [22] ]. Among them, the magnetron sputtering process is simple and low cost, which is conducive to the deposition of ZnTe: Cu thin films with good adhesion and large area.…”

Hydroponic Cultured Ginseng Leaves Zinc Oxides Nanocomposite Stabilized with CMC Polymer for Degradation of Hazardous Dyes in Wastewater Treatment

“…ZnO NPs can be prepared following different methods including the sol-gel method [ 12 ], co-precipitation method [ 13 ], sol-gel spin coating technique [ 14 ], and pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) [ 15 ]. This study focused on a quicker synthesis method of ZnO NPs (co-precipitation method) using plant phytochemicals and stabilized the NPs with a biodegradable polymer o-carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC).…”
