Application of Solution-Processed CuSCN and AgSCN for High Efficient CdTe Solar Cells

Solution processed CuSCN and AgSCN were employed as Cu and Ag doping source in the CdTe solar cell. The effect of Cu and Ag on the CdTe device performance was investigated. It is promising to show that the CuSCN and AgSCN with similarity role to increase devices performance to power conversion efficiency to 17% and 16%, respectively. The benefit from CuSCN is that the dual role of CuSCN, one is the hole transport layer and one is Cu doping, while AgSCN with a higher resistive may play as Ag doping source with slower diffusion rate.
