Abstract

We report for the first time, a high performance photovoltaic cell utilizing earth abundant absorber SnSe, fabricated in thin film form by electrodeposition technique. A solid state device fabricated using CdS as window layer exhibited 0.8% efficiency while using a polysulfide electrolyte in presence of platinum counter electrode exhibited 1.4% solar to electric power conversion efficiency.
