Thin film CdSe/CuSe photovoltaic on a flexible single walled carbon nanotube substrate
Literature Information
Christopher E. Hamilton, Dennis J. Flood
Liquid phase deposition (LPD), using CdSO4 and N,N-dimethyl selenourea, has been used to grow CdSe absorber layer onto single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) derived back contact substrates. The nanotubes are imbedded in, and penetrate into, the CdSe absorber layer for the goal of enhancing excition dissociation and carrier transport. The Cd : Se film stoichiometry varied between 1 : 1.7 to 1 : 1.3 depending on the deposition conditions. The CdSe/SWNT layers show appropriate photoresponse. LPD was also used to grow a CuSe window layer onto which silver contacts were deposited. The resulting PV device shows a characteristic IV curve. Despite both the open circuit voltage (VOC = 1.28 mV) and short circuit current (ISC = 4.85 μA) being low, the resulting device is suggestive of the possibility of fabricating a flexible thin film (inorganic) solar cell by solution processes.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
