Presently nanocrystalline materials have opened a new chapter in the field of electronic
applications, since material properties could be changed by changing the crystallite size …

Thin-film solar cells made from non-toxic and earth-abundant materials are needed to
substitute the current best-developed absorbers such as cadmium telluride (CdTe) and …

Cu 2 O is one of the attractive photovoltaic materials for solar cells because of its low cost,
nontoxicity, and good mobility. In this paper, an obvious enhancement of power conversion …

The oxides of copper (CuxO) are fascinating materials due to their remarkable optical,
electrical, thermal and magnetic properties. Nanostructuring of CuxO can further enhance …

To reach grid parity further price reductions for photovoltaic (PV) systems are required,
calling for continued upscaling of the production processes or for novel PV cell concepts …

Cu 2 O thin films have been grown on glass substrates at room temperature by reactive
magnetron sputtering. As-deposited films exhibit high electrical resistivity and low optical …

We report formation of Cu 2 O thin-films through successive ionic layer adsorption and
reaction (SILAR) process. We have fully characterized the thin-films grown in atmospheric …

Metal oxide p–n heterojunctions consisting of p-Cu2O/n-ZnO/n-ZnS nanostructures were
deposited on an ITO substrate by three-step electrodeposition. The effect of ZnS layer …

Several quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) were fabricated by doping Cu 2 O
nanoparticles (NPs) into the TiO 2 photoanode pastes in order to improve their efficiencies …

As a metal-free semiconductor material, graphitic carbon nitride (C 3 N 4), the high
recombination rate of photogenerated charges and insufficient sunlight absorption limit its …
