Design and Characterization of PbS/CdS Based Photovoltaic Cell

Article Preview

Abstract:

A PbS/CdS based photovoltaic cell was designed and characterized. The as-designed photovoltaic cell has a structure of Al/PbS/CdS/ITO/Glass. The CdS films were prepared by magnetron sputtering. The PbS films were synthesized by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The CdS and PbS films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties.
