CdTeO3 Deposited Mesoporous NiO Photocathode for a Solar Cell

الملخص EN

Semiconductor sensitized NiO photocathodes have been fabricated by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method depositing CdTeO3 quantum dots onto mesoscopic NiO films.

A solar cell using CdTeO3 deposited NiO mesoporous photocathode has been fabricated.

It yields a photovoltage of 103.7 mV and a short-circuit current density of 0.364 mA/cm2.

The incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) value is found to be 12% for the newly designed NiO/CdTeO3 solar cell.

It shows that the p-type NiO/CdTeO3 structure could be successfully utilized to fabricate p-type solar cell.
