Doped ZnO are among the most attractive transparent conductive oxides for solar cells because they are relatively cheap, can be textured for light trapping, and readily produced for large-scale coatings. Here, we focus on the development of alternative Na and K-doped ZnO prepared by an easy low-cost spray pyrolysis method for conducting oxide application. To enhance the electrical properties of zinc oxide, alkali-doped Zn1−x MxO (x = 0.03) solid solutions were investigated. The resulting layers crystallize in a single hexagonal phase of wurtzite structure with preferred c-axis orientation along a (002) crystal plane. Dense, well attached to the substrate, homogeneous and highly transparent layers were obtained with great optical transmittance higher than 80%. The optical energy band gap of doped ZnO films increase from 3.27 to 3.29 eV by doping with Na and K, respectively. The electrical resistivity of the undoped ZnO could be decreased from 1.03 × 10−1 Ω.cm to 5.64 × 10−2 Ω.cm (K-doped) and 3.18 × 10−2 (Na-doped), respectively. Lastly, the carrier concentrations increased from 5.17 × 1017 (undoped ZnO) to 1 × 1018 (doped ZnO).

Flexible transparent conducting electrodes (F-TCEs) are an important part of a flexible solar cell. The performance of the F-TCEs is very important for the transmission of light and charge. Therefore, the selection of appropriate characteristics of F-TCES, especially electrical conductivity, light transmittance, and mechanical flexibility, is essential for fabricating solar cells with high performance. This article reviewed the latest development of F-TCEs and the structural design of flexible solar cells, compared and analyzed the preparation methods, advantages, and disadvantages of several different F-TCEs, such as metal oxides, metals, carbon materials, polymers, and their composites. Based on different solar cell structures and flexible substrate types, the measures to obtain high transmittance, low resistance, etc., were emphatically discussed to obtain F-TCEs with excellent performance. In order to make up for the shortcomings of single electrode materials, the current development of composite F-TCEs electrodes was discussed and analyzed. Finally, the challenges faced by F-TCEs and future development direction were prospected, providing a reference for the design of future intelligent photovoltaic systems.
