Abstract

A nanojunction solar cell consisting of ZnO nanocone tips embedded in a polycrystalline CdTe film is reported. This tip-film structure shows higher conversion efficiency than its planar structure. The higher efficiency is attributable to more efficient charge transport in the nanojunction due to a unique electric field distrobution in the CdTe and the utilization of the small junction area.
