Abstract

CdO:NiO/Si solar cell film was fabricated via deposition of CdO:NiO in different concentrations 1%, 3%, and 5% for NiO thin films in R.T and 723K, on n-type silicon substrate with approximately 200 nm thickness using pulse laser deposition. CdO:NiO/n-Si solar cell photovoltaic properties were examined under 60 mW/cm2 intensity illumination. The highest efficiency of the solar cell is 2.4% when the NiO concentration is 0.05 at 723K.

Highlights

  • A solar cell is a large-area p-n junction structure design to convert the sunlight into electric current efficiently[1]

  • Where F.F is defined as the ratio of the maximum power that can be derived from a solar cell to the product of the Jsc and Voc occur, no power is generated because the occurrence of one of these parameters means that the other is zero [12, 13]

  • Measurement of solar cell efficiency: 5. I-V measurement have made for n-CdO:NiO/n-Si hetrojunction when they were exposed to halogen lamp light, philips (60 mW), with intensity (100 mW/cm2) using Keithley digital electrometer 616, voltmeter and D.C. power supply under reverse bias voltage which was in the range (-2 to 2) volt
