Evolution of Structural and Optical Properties of Cuprous Oxide Particles for Visible Light Absorption

Abstract: Absorbent materials are being developed to replace semiconductor materials such as p-type silicon, GaAs, CdTe, and quaternary compounds such as CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide). Cu2O is a potential candidate because it is non-toxic, inexpensive, an abundant compound in the Earth’s crust, and has good optical properties, such as a high absorption coefficient. In this work, Cu2O was obtained simply by reducing Benedict’s solution with glucose in an alkaline medium (pH 10.2 ± 0.2) at 65°C. The samples were s… Show more

“…Both copper oxides show a p-type semiconductor behavior caused by metal deficiency (copper vacancy generation). [5,6] Similarly, zinc oxide (ZnO) is chemically stable and has a wide and direct band gap. [7] Unlike copper oxides, ZnO shows an n-type semiconductor behavior, which is caused by the oxygen vacancies in the crystal structure.…”

“…Cupric oxide (CuO) is also a semiconductor, which has an indirect band gap and is smaller than cuprous oxide. Both copper oxides show a p‐type semiconductor behavior caused by metal deficiency (copper vacancy generation) [5,6] . Similarly, zinc oxide (ZnO) is chemically stable and has a wide and direct band gap [7] .…”
