摘要：
CdTe-based thin-film solar cells fabricated with Cufree MoO3/Au back contacts have achieved cell efficiencies as high as 14%. The incorporation of MoO3 buffer layers improves the open circuit voltage but reduces the fill factor (FF) of the CdTe cells compared to the cells using Au-only contacts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements suggest a 2.75+/-0.20 eV valence band offset (VBO) between CdTe and MoO3. Such a large VBO explains the decrease in FF with the increase of the thickness of the MoO3 buffer layer.
