“…With respect to chemical vapor deposition, carbon nanotubes and fine particles are produced. Using CVD, a thin coating on the surface of substrate materials is produced by the chemical reactions of the vapor phase of materials [17,18]. Biomimetics is a technique that comprises methods that use nanostructures on natural materials [19].…”

This paper provides a review of the implementation of different materials and how they have impacted the efficiency of solar cells. This work elaborates on all solar generation methods that have been developed in the past and covers disparate technologies that are being implemented in different generations. A review of the characterization and factors involved in these processes are also discussed briefly. Furthermore, the economic, environmental, and technical perspectives related to solar cells have also been expounded. This paper also provides some insights into potential research directions that can be pursued in the field of solar energy. Energy demands are increasing all over the world, and substantial amounts of fossil fuels are currently exhausted all over the world in order to meet those needs, which in turn contaminates our environment; moreover, non-renewable sources of energy are diminishing at higher rates as well. Solar energy is of prime importance in all renewable energy sources as the Sun shines at the Earth for 8 to 10 h on average. Thus, heat can be harnessed to generate electricity, but solar cells are not substantially efficient because the materials used in them are quite costly and waste a considerable amount of energy, mostly as heat, which subsequently reduces the efficiency of the cell and increases the overall price as well. These challenges can be dealt with by designing more efficient, economical systems of storage and manufacturing PV cells with high efficacy. Scientists and engineers are more inclined toward advanced technologies and material manipulation to enhance the efficiency of solar energy and reduce its cost. In this regard, substantial research is being carried out, especially on the structure of materials and advanced materials like nanomaterials and quantum dots. Due to their distinct electromechanical and material properties, carbon-based nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes, graphene, fullerene, and nanohybrids are being employed as the electrodes, transport layers, active layers, or intermediate (interfacial) layers of solar cells in this regard.

“…There are various techniques available for the deposition of thin film such as physical vapour deposition (PVD), chemical vapour deposition (CVD), vacuum evaporation, molecular beam epitaxy, ion plating, etc. However, TiN can be synthesised using techniques such as physical vapour deposition (PVD), chemical vapour deposition (CVD) [ 11 , 12 , 13 ], etc. In PVD, TiN is synthesised by depositing thin films of TiN onto a substrate using a physical process, such as sputtering.…”

Titanium nitride (TiN) thin film coatings were grown over silicon (p-type) substrate using the atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (APCVD) technique. The synthesis process was carried out to evaluate the effect of deposition time on the physical and mechanical characteristics of TiN coating. Thin films grown over Si substrate were further characterised to evaluate the morphological properties, surface roughness and mechanical properties using a scanning electrode microscope (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanoindentation, respectively. EDS equipped with SEM showed the presence of Ti and N elements in considerable amounts. TiN morphology obtained from the SEM test showed small-sized particles on the surface along with cracks and pores. AFM results revealed that by increasing the deposition time, the surface roughness of the coating also increased. The nanomechanical properties such as nanohardness (H) and Young’s modulus (E), etc., evaluated using the nanoindentation technique showed that higher deposition time led to an increase in H and E. Overall, it was observed that deposition time plays a vital role in the TiN coating deposition using the CVD technique.
