Study of ZnS/CdS structures for solar cells applications

Opto-Electronics Review

“…Brooks et al [167] also analyzed the role of the window layer in Cd1-xZnxS/CdTe PV device. There are various literatures that have already reported on the (CdZnS) window layers in solar cell devices [164,[168][169][170][171]. In comparison between Cd1-xZnxS/CdTe against CdS/CdTe PV devices, due to the wider bandgap of ternary alloy, the increased blue response highlighted its advantage greater than the traditional CdS window layer in measurement spectra of EQE shown in Fig 16 . A reverse reaction was observed in LBIC measurements when the authors compared 405 nm, over the similar region at 658 nm and 810 nm.…”

Synthesis and characterisation of ZnS thin films obtained without complexing agent by the chemical bath technique

“…Zinc sulphide (ZnS) is one of the most widely used semiconductors in the nanomaterial industry [1][2][3]. Transmission above 80% in the visible range, low reflectivity, and bandgap energy (E g ) of 3.72 eV are optical properties that have made the ZnS stand out for applications related to optoelectronics, energy conversion devices, sensors, among others [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. For obtaining ZnS at nanometric scale (thin films), various techniques have been used such as sputtering, sol-gel, molecular beam epitaxy, successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction, etc.…”

A novel MoS2/ tourmaline /graphene ternary composite with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic property

“…Recently, photocatalytic degradation and complete mineralization of toxic organic compounds in water, soil, and air in the presence of semiconductor powders have gained increased attention [1][2]. Owning to their special properties, metal sulfides have been widely applied in the fields of solar cell [3][4], lithium-ion battery [5][6][7][8], sensor [9][10], photocatalytic hydrogen evolution [11][12], photocatalytic organics synthesis [13][14] and photocatalytic degradation [15][16]. Among of metal sulfides, MoS2 are widely used in the process of organic dyes degradation because of the peculiar advantages about the hierarchical structure, narrow band gap energy (Eg=1.2 eV-1.9 eV) [17][18], prominent viability against photocorrosion [19][20], extraordinary electronic and optical properties [21][22][23][24].…”
