“…10 The second arises from its high thermal expansion coefficient (1.4 Â 10 À5 K À1 ) which introduces strain and defects upon cooling after growth. 11,12 The final challenge involves achieving controllable doping. Most growth techniques result in intrinsic p-type doping through phosphorus interstitials.…”

“…The use of MBE lowers growth temperatures in comparison to other techniques used to obtain Zn 3 P 2 , such as chemical vapour transport in a quartz ampule and metal-organic chemical vapour deposition. 11,[30][31][32] The lower growth temperature should significantly reduce the number of grown-in defects induced by strain from differential thermal expansion. Furthermore, by varying the V/II flux ratio in the MBE, the composition of thin films can be adjusted precisely.…”

“…The Mg/Zn 3 P 2 solar cell shows the power conversion efficiency of 6% when the film was fabricated by gas phase growth, e.g. evaporation [134,135], MOCVD [136,137] [140]. They showed that, in order to obtain Zn 3 P 2 by electrodeposition from aqueous solutions, it is necessary that the reduction of Zn 2+ is suppressed and that of phosphate ions is enhanced.…”

This chapter endeavors to bring to the reader the potential of electrochemical deposition processes to develop low cost solar cells. The targeted photovoltaic absorbers are largely inorganic compound semiconductors containing earth abundant elements and satisfying the physical criteria of band gap and dopability. Electrodeposition, being an well established chemical process having its inherent capability for a large productions, should also be applied to develop various low cost solar cells, such as Cu ZnSnS , Cu S, FeS , Zn P , few/mono-layer MoS and WS etc having direct band gaps and ability to engineer their band gap through in-situ doping for creating various possible hereojunctions. The author believes that the combined effort of electrochemistry, physics and chemical engineering can push this simple and ultra-low cost technique of electrodeposition along with other supporting solution based techniques to produce PV energy at most affordable price in coming days.

“…It is an important semiconductor from the II-V group, and is used for optoelectronic applications [13,[72][73][74]. Zinc phosphide exhibits favorable optoelectronic properties, such as direct bandgap of 1.5 eV, which corresponds to the optimum solar energy conversion range [74][75][76][77]. Zinc phosphide has a large optical absorption coefficient of >10…”
