Improvement of Heterojunction Nanomaterials Photoelectrochemical Properties by Sol-Gel Synthesis and Hydrothermal Reaction.

The ZnO nanorod arrays (NRs)/CuAlO2 laminar crystal thin films (LFs)/Ni heterojunctions with delafossite structure were prepared by sol-gel synthesis for LFs and hydrothermal for NRs. X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrates the typical delafossite structure CuAlO2 and pure ZnO of R¯3m space group. Compared with a traditional CuAlO2/Ni laminar films (LFs) nanostructure, the photocurrent of this heterojunction nanostructure is significantly increased.

Embedded vertically aligned cadmium telluride nanorod arrays grown by one-step electrodeposition for enhanced energy conversion efficiency in three-dimensional nanostructured solar cells.

Vertically aligned CdTe nanorods (NRs) arrays are successfully grown by a simple one-step and template-free electrodeposition method, and then embedded in the CdS window layer to form a novel three-dimensional (3D) heterostructure on flexible substrates. The parameters of electrodeposition such as deposition potential and pH of the solution are varied to analyze their important role in the formation of high quality CdTe NRs arrays. The photovoltaic conversion efficiency of the solar cell based on the 3D heterojunction structure is studied in detail.

Synthesis of uniform cadmium sulphide thin film by the homogeneous precipitation method on cadmium telluride nanorods and its application in three-dimensional heterojunction flexible solar cells.

High-density CdTe nanorod arrays are successfully embedded in a uniform and compact CdS layer, forming a novel three-dimensional (3D) CdTe NRs/CdS heterojunction structure. The CdS layer is prepared by homogeneous precipitation (HP) method using decomposition of urea. The effects of temperature and concentration of reactants on the growth and composition of CdS film are investigated in detail.
