Abstract:Transparent
conducting oxides (TCOs) are a crucial component of
solar cells. Tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) is the most employed TCO,
but the scarcity and high price of indium induce a search for lower-cost
TCOs with equivalent properties as substitutes. Tin dioxide (SnO2) films have many advantages, such as rich sources of material,
low prices, and nontoxicity. SnO2 films present a high
visible-light transmittance, near-infrared light reflectivity, and
excellent electrical properties. They also have a higher ch… Show more
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.
