O. Solorzaferia et R. Riveranoriega, PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL RESPONSE AND CHARACTERIZATION OF P-CUINSE2 ELECTRODEPOSITED WITH DIFFERENT CITRATE ION CONCENTRATIONS, Journal of Materials Science, 30(10), 1995, pp. 2616-2619
The photoelectrochemical response of electrodeposited p-CulnSe(2) thin
films from sulfate bath and different citrate ion concentrations is r
eported, The best cathodic photoresponse was obtained with thin films
deposited in 0.06 M sodium citrate. The film characteristics show a pr
eferred orientation with [112] direction a nd sphalerite structure. Da
rk capacitance measurements in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution at 50 KHz showed a
linear behaviour from which flat band potential, V-fb similar to -0.2
75 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE), and a doping level dens
ity, N-A similar to -1.2 10(16) cm(-3), were determined.
