Fabrication and characterization of CuO/ZnO solar cells

Abstract

Cuprous oxide (CuO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) heterojunction solar cells fabricated on indium tin oxide-coated glass were studied. CuO and ZnO films were deposited using a galvanostatic method. Structural, morphological and optoelectronic properties of the CuO/ZnO heterojunction were studied by using X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and light current-voltage characteristics.
