Electrodeposited CdTe solar cells using low-purity Cd precursors & the effect of chemical purity by Ashfaque E. Alam, Hussain I. Salim, Ayotunde A. Ojo, Imyhamy M. Dharmadasa

“…The optimal growth voltage for CdTe with low-purity precursors was found to be 1,315 mV and a ~6.0% device efficiency was achieved. It has been observed that the use of very high-purity precursors can ensure considerably higher performance; however, it is possible to play an important role in the performance versus cost trade-off using low-purity chemicals too.…”
