Abstract:

Thin film solar cells (TFSC) are the most potential for development of new and renewable clean energy. The large-scale production and application of TFSC can ease the energy crisis and protect the environment for human. However, buffer layer is a critical layer, which determines the performance of TFSC. This paper reviews the preparation, mechanisms, deposition systems, and development of ZnS thin-film buffer layers and points out that CBD-ZnS thin film is the best buffer layer material taking place of CdS.
