Cubic Silicon Carbide (3C-SiC) as a buffer layer for high efficiency and highly stable CdTe solar cell

Cubic Silicon Carbide (3C-SiC) as a buffer layer for high efficiency and highly stable CdTe solar cell

Cubic Silicon Carbide (3C-SiC) is a potential material for use in photovoltaics for its significant advancement in growth in terms of crystal quality and domain size. Hence, 3C-SiC has been introduced here as an alternative non-toxic buffer layer for heterojunction CdTe solar cell. The solar cell is...
