An Extended Approach on Power Conversion Efficiency Enhancement Through Deposition of ZnS-Al2S3 Blends on Silicon Solar Cells
Transparent zinc sulfide (ZnS)-aluminium sulfide (Al 2 S 3 ) composite thin-films are deposited on silicon solar cells through radio frequency (RF) sputtering method at room temperature to investigate the structural, optical, electrical, and thermal characteristics. X-ray diffraction analysis reveal...
