摘要
This paper gives a comprehensive analysis of the physical properties of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) and H-Al co-doped (HAZO), aiming to enhance the photoelectric property performances of ZnO as transparent conductive oxide (TCO), using density functional theory (DFT). Results showed that the lattice distortion of HAZO is smaller than that of AZO due to the repulsion of Al ions by H ions. Analysis of the electronic structure revealed that the carrier mobility of HAZO is higher than that of AZO due to the increased number of electrons at the conduction band minimum. Moreover, the conductivity of HAZO increased by 86% compared to AZO. The transmittance of HAZO is much higher than pure ZnO and AZO in the visible region and even reaching up to 95% above 600 nm. The current findings provide a theoretical basis for the possibility of co-doping Al-H with ZnO to promote its development in photovoltaic devices.
