Highly efficient CdTe solar cells were fabricated with a composite back contact of rGO@CuSCN, prepared by solution processing. CuSCN served as a doping source and electron reflection layer, while rGO acted as a hole transport layer, resulting in reduced back barrier height and improved photovoltaic performance.
Highly efficient CdTe solar cells were fabricated by introducing rGO@CuSCN as a composite back contact. The rGO@CuSCN was prepared by convenient solution-processed method. As a Cu-doping source and electron reflection layer, CuSCN could facilitate to dope CdTe and decrease the carrier recombination on the back surface of CdTe. The rGO, as a hole transport layer, could suppress unfavorable over-diffusion of Cu and improve hole collection and transport. The results show the obvious reduction of back barrier height and decrease of the dark current density in the devices with rGO@CuSCN back contact. Using facile coating method and optimal thermal annealing for the preparation of rGO@CuSCN composite back contact, CdTe solar cell presented greatly enhanced photovoltaic performance (E-ff: 16.84%, V-oc: 841 mV, J(sc): 26.83 mA/cm(2), FF: 74.6%).
