CdSCdTe
CdSCdTe refers to the CdS/CdTe solar cell structure, a widely studied thin-film photovoltaic technology that uses a cadmium sulfide (CdS) window layer in combination with a cadmium telluride (CdTe) absorber. In these devices, CdS forms a wide-bandgap, n-type window layer that helps collect and transport photogenerated electrons, while CdTe serves as the light-absorbing p-type layer. The CdS/CdTe junction creates a heterojunction diode that converts sunlight into electrical energy.
CdS and CdTe have complementary properties that make them suitable for high-efficiency thin-film solar cells. CdS
Performance and development have made CdS/CdTe one of the leading thin-film photovoltaic options, with laboratory efficiencies
