摘要: Vertically aligned CdTe nanorods (NRs) arrays are successfully grown by a simple one-step and template-free electrodeposition method, then embedded in the CdS window layer to form novel three-dimensional (3D) heterostructure on flexible substrates. The parameters of such as deposition potential pH solution varied analyze their important role formation high quality NRs arrays. photovoltaic conversion efficiency solar cell based 3D heterojunction structure is studied detail. In comparison with standard planar cell, exhibits better performance, which can be attributed its enhanced optical absorption ability, increased area improved charge carrier transport. photoelectric property suggests great application thin film cells, process represents promising technique for large-scale fabrication other nanostructured energy devices.
