Electrodeposition of CdS Nanostructures for Solar Cells Using Nano Imprint Templates

Article Preview

Abstract:

We fabricated a CdS nano structures/CdS window layer/ ITO coated glass using electrodeposition and nano imprinting technology (NIT). The CdS nano-structures were electrodeposited using Na2S2O3 and CdSO4 electrolytes as the CdS sources and nano-imprint templates. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) results show the electrodeposited CdS window layer and the secondary electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed the well aligned CdS nano-structure shape.
