We have investigated the effect of annealing conditions onto the cadmium telluride (CdTe) layers obtained using potentiostatic electrodeposition from non-aqueous electrolyte. A conventional three-electrode geometry consisting; working (FTO), counter (Platinum) and reference (Ag/AgCl) electrodes were employed. The samples electrodeposited at − 0.625...

Critically endangered black rhinoceros (BR) under human care are predisposed to non-hemochromatosis Iron Overload Disorder (IOD). Over the last 30 years, BR have been documented with diseases that have either been induced by or exacerbated by IOD, prompting significant efforts to investigate and address this disorder. IOD is a multi-factorial chron...

The use of CdSe layers has recently emerged as a route to improving CdTe photovoltaics through the formation of a CdTe(1-x)Sex (CST) phase. However, the extent of the Se diffusion and the influence it has on the CdTe grain structure has not been widely investigated. In this study, we used transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-...

We analyzed the influence of parameters of deep levels in the bulk and conditions on the surface on transient charge responses of semi-insulating samples (CdTe and GaAs). We studied the dependence on the applied bias step used for the experimental evaluation of resistivity in contactless measurement setups. We used simulations based on simultaneous...

AbstractHere we present the analyses of fractal properties of CdTe dendrites. The spectral characteristics of dendrites obtained at different acids of the initial solution were investigated. We demonstrate the displacement of the local luminescence peak depended on the branches of the dendritic structure. The fractal dimension has been calculated b...

Interface engineering has led to significant progress in solution-processed CdTe nanocrystal (NC) solar cells in recent years. High performance solar cells can be fabricated by introducing a hole transfer layer (HTL) between CdTe and a back contact electrode to reduce carrier recombination by forming interfacial dipole effect at the interface. Here...

This study deals with the CdS/CdTe solar cells under low illumination intensity, with cell #1 for the shunt resistance exceeding 100,000 Ω·cm2 and cell #2 for the shunt resistance above 1000 Ω·cm2. The diode parameter variations with the decline of the irradiance intensity are illustrated by dividing 0–100 mW/cm−2 into a number of small intensity r...

Although the fundamental limits have been established for the single junction solar cells, tandem configurations are one of the promising approaches to surpass these limits. One of the candidates for the top cell absorber is CdTe, as the CdTe photovoltaic technology has significant advantages: stability, high performance, and relatively inexpensive...
