摘要
Cuprous oxide (Cu2O)-based solar cells containing zinc oxide (ZnO) were fabricated on F-doped tin oxide (FTO) by electrodeposition. Cu2O layers were deposited from a pH-adjusted electrolyte consisting of LiOH, NaOH or KOH. A photovoltaic device based on a FTO/ZnO/Cu2O/Au heterojunction structure was prepared using LiOH, and it gave a power conversion efficiency of 1.43% under air mass 1.5 illumination.
