Abstract EN
Copper system compound semiconductor solar cells were produced by a spin-coating method, and their cell performance and structures were investigated.
Copper indium disulfide- (CIS-) based solar cells with titanium dioxide (TiO2) were produced on F-doped SnO2 (FTO).
A device based on an FTO/CIS/TiO2 structure provided better cell performance compared to that based on FTO/TiO2/CIS structure.
Cupric oxide- (CuO-) and cuprous oxide- (Cu2O-) based solar cells with fullerene (C60) were also fabricated on FTO and indium tin oxide (ITO).
The microstructure and cell performance of the CuO/C60 heterojunction and the Cu2O:C60 bulk heterojunction structure were investigated.
The photovoltaic devices based on FTO/CuO/C60 and ITO/Cu2O:C60 structures provided short-circuit current density of 0.015 mAcm−2 and 0.11 mAcm−2, and open-circuit voltage of 0.045 V and 0.17 V under an Air Mass 1.5 illumination, respectively.
The microstructures of the active layers were examined by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.
