摘要
p-SnS/n-Cd1-xZnxS heterojunctions were fabricated by using pulsed electrochemical deposition (P-ECD) and photochemical deposition (PCD) methods. CdSO4, ZnSO4 and Na2S2O3 were used for the deposition of Cd1-xZnxS alloys by PCD method on the indium-tin-oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates. The x values in the Cd1-xZnxS were varied by changing the Na2S2O3 concentration in the deposition bath. SnS layer was deposited by P-ECD using SnSO4 and Na2S2O3. The composition details of the n-Cd1-xZnxS window layer were estimated from LO (longitudinal optical) phonon frequency observed from the Raman studies. The photovoltaic properties of the fabricated solar cell structure glass/ITO/ Cd1-xZnxS /SnS/In are characterised under the photon intensity 100 mW/cm(2) and we observed the short circuit current density as 4.8 mA/cm(2), open circuit voltage as 280 mV and fill factor as 0.34.
