“…Solution based coating using aqueous precursors to deposit a thin metal film such as by chemical bath deposition and electrochemical deposition are used where the substrate to be coated is sensitive to heat In chemical bath deposition, the substrate to be coated is immersed in an alkaline solution containing the metal ion [59,60]. The oxide is grown on the surface via hydrolysis of the cations which are then precipitated onto the substrate as an oxide.…”

Metalloid and metal based oxides are an almost unavoidable component in the majority of solar cell technologies used at the time of writing this review. Numerous studies have shown increases of ≥1% absolute in solar cell efficiency by simply substituting a given layer in the material stack with an oxide. Depending on the stoichiometry and whether other elements are present, oxides can be used for the purpose of light management, passivation of electrical defects, photo-carrier generation, charge separation, and charge transport in a solar cell. In this review, the most commonly used oxides whose benefits for solar cells have been proven both in a laboratory and industrial environment are discussed. Additionally, developing trends in the use of oxides, as well as newer oxide materials, and deposition technologies for solar cells are reported.

“…Table 14.1 summarizes the oxide materials (and a few sulfides) that have been deposited in the form of thin films via these techniques or with the use of organic self-assembled monolayer surfaces (vide infra). Recent reviews [2,18,19] provide further details about these films and give citations to the original reports.…”

In some cases metal hydroxide thin fi lms are deposited and subsequently converted into oxide fi lms [156] . To obtain good -quality and cheaper semiconductor thin fi lms, several optimized experimental conditions have been developed and the infl uence of various factors such as temperature, concentration, stirring, and others has been studied.…”

IntroductionThe world net electricity generation has been estimated to increase 77% from 18 trillion kilowatt hour s ( kWh ) in 2006 to 31.8 trillion kWh in 2030 with a value of 23.2 trillion kWh in 2015 1) . On the other hand, the world market capacity of solar photovoltaic power systems escalated from 1.3 gigawatt s ( GW ) in 2001 to 15.2 GW in 2008 for systems which have been installed. In particular, market installations reached a record high of 5.95 GW in 2008 corresponding to a growth of 110% from 2007. The contribution of solar energy to the world net electricity generation is estimated to be 6% by 2050.The production of photovoltaic ( PV ) modules is still based mainly on crystalline silicon (Si) (94%) while 4% of modules are based on thin -fi lm amorphous Si solar cells and 2% are polycrystalline compound solar cells based on CdTe and CuIn 2 Se [1] . Despite the tremendous progress in all aspects of production of Si -based solar cells and the rapid decrease of production cost for PV modules from $5 per peak watt at the beginning of the 1990s to $2.5 per peak watt in 2009, or $0.7 per kWh, this remains effectively too high. Subsidies from some government policies and/or the carbon dioxide market to increase the utilization of clean energy for sustainable development can contribute to reduce the PV energy cost to $0.25 -0.40 per kWh during the fi rst year of the system installation. This cost is similar to that of classic energy where energy cost is higher than $0.25 -0.30 per kWh. For economic viability of this energy without subsidies, the development of ultralow -cost PV systems is one of the important issues to ensure a smooth transition to sustainable energy development. According to a recent US Department of Energy study in the USA [2] , a major research effort is needed to close the huge gap between the current use of solar energy and its enormous underdeveloped potential. One of the identifi ed thrusts of the 5 Advances in Electrochemical Science and Engineering. Edited
