摘要
A literature survey is given of recent developments on alternative buffers in chalcopyrite solar cells. Numerous materials to replace the CdS buffer have been developed. Deposition methods include wet chemical as well as dry processes. Additionally, devices without a buffer are developed. Several approaches have reached maturity and efficiency results equal to CdS reference cells. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
