Nickel sulfide thin films were prepared using electrodeposition on indium tin oxide-coated glass substrates. Films were characterized using X-ray diffraction for crystallographic analysis. The films were shown to be polycrystalline in nature with good uniformity. From scanning electron micrographs, the surface appeared to be comparatively granular with irregularly shaped grains. From optical analysis, the bandgap range was between 1.22 eV and 1.15 eV with an indirect bandgap nature. Mott-Schottky plot confirmed that the films were found to be n-type, and the semiconductor parameters of the film were derived.
Rubbing the donor in bilayer organic solar cells promotes the formation of adequate concentration gradients in the active layers. The improved charge collection yields large enhancements in the performances of fullerene and non-fullerene solar cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
