Özet

We demonstrate cuprous oxide (Cu2O) based metal insulator semiconductor Schottky (MIS-Schottky) solar cells with efficiency exceeding 3%. A unique direct growth technique is employed in the fabrication, and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) serves simultaneously as a passivation and insulation layer on the active Cu2O layer. The devices are the most efficient of any Cu2O based MIS-Schottky solar cells reported to date. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
