摘要
Thin films of p-type Cu1.8S have been deposited onto smooth and nanoporous n-type TiO2 with Atomic Layer Chemical Vapor Deposition (AL-CVD). As precursors, Cu(thd)(2) and H2S have been used and self-limited deposition takes place between 125 and 240 degreesC. The crystalline phase and growth rate strongly depend on the process conditions; below 175 degreesC CuS and above this temperature, Cu, 8 S is formed. Photospectroscopy shows that Cu1.8S has a bandgap of 1.75 eV and an absorption coefficient of 2.3 X 10(4) cm(-1) at 500 nm. A 35-nm-thick Cu1.8S film on flat TiO2 substrates shows a short circuit photocurrent of 30 muA/cm(2) and an open circuit photovoltage of 200 mV at broad-band irradiation of 2.8 kW/m(2). The internal quantum efficiency is 6% at 500 nm. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
