This thesis investigates the growth and characterisation of CdTe and core-double shell ITO/CdS/CdTe nanowires (NWs), ITO/ZnO/CdS/CdTe/Mo thin-film solar cells and ITO/ZnO/CdS/CdTe(NW)/CdTe/Mo core-triple shell NW solar cells. First, the generation of Au-catalysed CdTe NWs arrays on Mo foils is reported, with CdTe being deposited by close-space sublimation. NWs were up to 20 μm long, had diameters in the range 5 – 500 nm and densities in the range 106 – 107 cm-2.

This thesis presents various studies into the effects of both growth and processing conditions on a) the electrical properties of interfaces of the CdTe solar cell, and b) the photovoltaic (PV) performance. Annealing of the CdS/TCO (transparent conductive oxide) bilayer in both oxidising and reducing ambients was investigated in order to study changes in the electrical properties of the In/CdS/TCO structure. It was found that post-growth oxidising changed the current–voltage (J-V) characteristics from Ohmic to rectifying, which was attributed to the creation of a CdO-n+/CdS-n junction, as an o

A systematic study is presented on the control of CdTe and CdS layers during their growth, with the understanding gained being implemented in the production of solar cells with enhanced performance. In particular the growth mechanisms for close space sublimation (CSS) — grown CdTe were evaluated as a function of processing gas (N2, 02 and H2) and nitrogen pressure. Films were shown to form via the Volmer-Weber growth mode with films deposited under nitrogen showing well defined crystal facets.

This work concerns the microstructure of CSS-grown CdTe layers used for CdTe/CdS solar cells. Particular attention is given to how the development of microstructure on annealing with CdCl(_2) may correlate with increases in efficiency. By annealing pressed pellets of bulk CdTe powder, it is shown that microstructural change does occur on heating the material, enhanced by the inclusion of CdCl(_2) flux. However, the temperature required to cause significant effects is demonstrated to be higher than that at which heavy oxidation takes place. The dynamics of this oxidation are also examined. To i

Thin film solar cells of Copper Indium Telluride and Cadmium Sulfide junctions were fabricated on plain ITO glass slides and also on those coated with intrinsic Tin Oxide. CdS was deposited through chemical bath deposition and CIT by electrodeposition. Both compounds were subjected to annealing at temperatures between 350°C and 500°C which produced more uniform film thicknesses and larger grain sizes. The CIT/ CdS junction was characterized after performing XRD and spectral absorption of individual compounds. Studies were also made on CdS / CdTe solar cells with respect to effect of annealing

Polycrystalline CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells are among the leading candidates for low-cost, large scale terrestrial photovoltaic applications. CdTe has a high absorption coefficient and it can absorb the radiant energy within less than 2 µm of thickness. This makes it suitable for thin film applications. CdTe has a band gap of 1.45 eV at room temperature, which is nearly optimum for photovoltaic conversion efficiency under the AM 1.5 solar spectrum. The theoretical maximum efficiency for CdTe solar cells is 29%. However, to-date the experimental value is in the 16 % range. In most cases CdTe

This is a very promising process technology with potential for eventual industrial deployment.

Cu is used as a dopant in CdTe at the contact to promote quantum mechanical tunneling [3].
