Dip coated nanocrystalline CdZnS thin films for solar cell application

Formation of wide-bandgap, highly transparent and compact Cd1−xZnxS films with dynamically controlled pH in chemical bath deposition

“…Cd 1Àx Zn x S has also been reported to reduce interface recombination by forming a spike-like CBO with the absorber, which hinders charge carrier accumulation at the interface. 8 Cd 1Àx Zn x S thin-films have been synthesized using various techniques such as vacuum evaporation, 18 sputtering, 19 electrodeposition, 20 spin coating, 21 dip coating, 22 spray pyrolysis, 23 successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction, 8 close space sublimation 24 and chemical bath deposition (CBD). 11,25 Among these techniques, CBD -an industry standard for thin film solar cells -is the most favorable method owing to its simplicity, low process temperature, easy deposition over a large area and low cost for large-scale production.…”

Study the Effect of Deposition Time on Optical Properties of CdZnS Nanofilms

“…The smaller sizes, in terms of the thickness of the thin film, allow us to see new things, like how size affects structural, electrical, and optical properties [5]. In thin films fabrication, several approaches have been used such as Dip coating [6], spin coating technique [7], chemical vapor deposition method [8], successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) [9], spray pyrolysis method [10] and chemical bath deposition method (CBD) [11]. It's easier, faster, and cheaper to use CBD than any of the other techniques listed above.…”
