Abstract

This study reports on the fabrication of a Schottky solar cell with a cross-sectional schematic: ITO/PbS/Al with a commercial transparent conductive ITO and a p-type PbS absorber layer deposited by using a thermal evaporator. The structural and optical properties of constituent films are presented. X-ray diffraction showed that the thin films are polycrystalline. By using scanning electron microscopy, this study showed that the films possessed a uniform surface morphology over the substrate, and the films exhibit a nanocoral structure. Open circuit voltage,short-circuit current density and characteristics were studied under 30 mW/cm2 solar radiation.
