Abstract
The CuI/SnO 2 /ZnO core-shell orderly nanoarrays transparent pn junction has been fabricated via a simple approach of hydrothermal-sputtering-iodize method. Herein, the ternary CuI/SnO 2 /ZnO transparent pn junction (CuI/ZnO-SnO 2 -3) exhibits highly transmittance of ~80%, photovoltaic conversion enhancement of ~1.0×10 3 folds than intrinsic CuI/ZnO pn junction (PCE of ~1.16%), stable output during 1800s and decent stability during 10 weeks’ continuous cycle. It can be mainly attributed to that, the SnO 2 shell transition layer with appropriate Fermi level, carrier injection and wide band gap, can optimize the carrier concentration-mobility kinetic equilibrium efficiently to achieve a higher transparent photovoltaic conversion. Additionally, the SnO 2 /ZnO core-shell orderly nanoarrays can provide carrier pathway, increase solar efficiency and physical stability. • Regulated potential of SnO 2 shell can act as transition layer to increase mobility • Wide band gap SnO 2 shell can balance transmittance and photovoltaic conversion • SnO 2 /ZnO core-shell orderly nanoarrays can increase stability and solar efficiency
