摘要: Abstract We report the electrodeposition of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) films from cupric sulfate-lactate electrolytes at high pH 13.5 and their performance in all-oxide fluorine-doped tin oxide/Cu2O/aluminium-doped zinc solar cells. The deposit grains are found to grow with rather randomly distributed crystal orientations have a poorly-definded morphology evidence chemical dissolution that takes place during deposition process. Significant improvements cell power conversion efficiencies up 1.55% is achieved, which much better those (
