A Comparative Study of Cu₂S–Zn_xCd_1-xS and Cu₂S–CdS Thin Film Solar Cells Prepared by Solid State Reaction

M. S. Tomar and F. J. Garcia

We report here all polycrystalline thin film solar cells of Cu₂S–Zn_xCd_1-xS and Cu₂S–CdS prepared by solid state reaction. The efficiencies in the range of 4 to 5% have been obtained without antireflection coating. The improvement in open circuit voltage is observed in Cu₂S–Zn_xCd_1-xS cell with little sacrifice in short circuit current. A comparison is also made with the solar cell Zn_xCd_1-xS–Cu₂S prepared by spray pyrolysis and the electrical conversion efficiency about 1.0% is obtained.
