ZnO/CuInS 2 /CuSCN heterostructure was synthetised using ZnO/CuInS 2 core/shell nanorods array as substrate via a low cost electrodeposition method. The as obtained heterostructure could be considered as the main part of typical extremely thin absorber solar cell, since the ZnO nanorods and CuInS 2 layer would serve as the electronic delivery material and light absorber, while the b-CuSCN would play the role of hole conductor. The as obtained heterostructure shows a high absorbing capacity in the visible part of the solar spectrum with a light absorption centre located at ,550 nm, and the efficiency of the solar cells was measured to be 0.16% using Au as counter electrode.
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.
