A Novel Method for Preparation of Zn-Doped CuInS2 Solar Cells and Their Photovoltaic Performance by Cheng-Hsiung Peng, Chyi-Ching Hwang

“…Shape evolution of the Zn-doped CuInS2 nanocrystals from initially spherical to pyramidal, to cubic, and finally to a bar geometry was detected as a function of time of exposure to magnetic induction. These colloidal solvents with different shaped nanocrystals were further used as “nanoink” to fabricate a simple thin film solar device; the best efficiency we obtained of these crystals was 1.01% with a 1.012 μm thickness absorber layer (bar geometry). …”
