Electrochemical Preparation and Conditioning of Cu2S for Cu2S-CdS Solar Cells
Conference paper
Summary
Cuprous sulfide is electroplated from Cu(II) solution on thermally evaporated CdS. A solution composition is given, which suppresses the direct reaction between Cu2+ ions and CdS. Stoichiometric Cu2S is formed. Photocells are realized, with a front grid directly electroplated on the cell. I-V curves, spectral responses and C-2-V plots are given. The main difference with dipped cells lies in the C-2-V plot which shows a less pronounced variation for electroplated cells. Efficiency of 7% were obtained.
