Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aimed at fabrication of rare metal free and non-toxic semiconductor-based solar cells, which may lead to higher efficiency and more inexpensive solar cell devices. The results is not directly linked to high efficiency solar cells, but the evolution is positively expected. This research project demonstrated a potential of (i) low-cost and environmental-friendly process for thin film solar cell fabrication and (ii) non-toxic oxygen-sulfur-based materials (selenium-free) for band-gap engineering.
