Unravelling the role of nickel doping on the physical properties of CuO thin films deposited by Spray Pyrolysis and theoretical analysis of nanostructured ZnO/Ni:CuO-based heterojunction solar cells
Abstract:Whereas solar photovoltaic cells are promising for proper power production,their wide deployment is hampered by production costs, material availability and toxicity. One of these materials is CuO, which has great chemical stability as well as interesting physical properties, including a direct band gap, a high absorption coef cient, and p-type conductivity. These properties indicate CuO as an exciting semiconducting material to use an absorber layer in thin lms solar cells. For this speci c reason, this paper … 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.
