摘要
Solar cells are produced by atomic layer deposition (ALD) of n-type amorphous zinc-tin-oxide buffer layers on electrochemically deposited p-type cuprous oxide, Cu2O, absorber layers. The diethylzinc precursor in the ALD process reduces Cu2+-related defects at the heterojunction interface, improving the solar-cell open-circuit voltage. An NREL-certified power conversion efficiency of 2.85% is reported. © 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
