Outline of Final Research Achievements

The final goal of this study is to fabricate non-toxic and low cost ZnO/Cu2O solar cell by electrochemical process which is low energy consumption, low cost and applicable for large area deposition. We tried to control the electrical property of Cu2O thin films at first. The compositions of electrolyte were changed to change the reaction late limiting factor. As a result, the concentration of ionized acceptor density was controlled successfully by using the condition which brought Cu-supply rate limited reaction. The initial potential to supply the current to grow ZnO is in two regions, Zn2+ stable and metal Zn stable region. By considering the regions with the cathodic current dependences of grain density and optical transmittance, it is expected that there are two substances as initial nuclear of electrochemically grown ZnO. One is Zn(OH)2 which was expected by our previous study, and the other is metal Zn, which are depend on the cathode current density.
