Photoelectrochemical properties of electrodeposited hybrid CZTS photo electrodes

Title : Photoelectrochemical properties of electrodeposited hybrid CZTS photo electrodes

Abstract:

The photo electrochemical properties were investigated on hybrid CZTS films. The hybrid CZTS films were grown on FTO coated glass substrate using hybrid precursor containing inorganic chemicals and natural basil extraction. The basil extraction in bath was varied from 0 to 5 ml. Hybrid CZTS films grown using precursor with 5 ml basil extraction shows significant better photo electrochemical response than samples prepared with 0 and 1 ml. The results may lead to the development of hybrid CZTS to fabricate hybrid photo electrochemical cells for solar power and solar fuel generation.

Audience Take Away: 

• Audience will learn about alternative solar absorber CZTS and its growth using electro-deposition as well as its applications for photoelectrochemical solar conversion. 
• Methods and Studies will be helpful to students to get job in energy conversion and storage related research area.
• The advanced experiments in proposed work may lead a new kind of low cost and eco-friendly solar cells that may compete existing silicon solar cells.
