Examining the role of ultra-thin atomic layer deposited metal oxide barrier layers on CdTe/ITO interface stability during the fabrication of solution processed nanocrystalline solar cells

Solution processed CdTe layers are a potentially low-cost alternative for use in thin-film solar cells. We have recently reported the use of such nanocrystalline layers within ITO/CdTe/ZnO/Al device architectures. One key concern with this type of device structure is the possibility of atomic scale...
