摘要
A solid-state p-n junction photovoltaic cell can be fabricated in a common chemistry lab. It is prepared by coating a p-type copper sulfide film on an n-type silicon wafer via a simple chemical bath deposition method. The resulting p-n junction shows an obvious photovoltaic effect. This activity offers students an opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the technology of solid-state solar cells.
