초록 | Photoelectric devices, which include solar cells, LEDs, and photsensors, convert electric power to light, or vice versa. We have produced a new class of all-metal oxide transparent photoelectric devices (T-PEDs) from the NiO/ZnO junction. We developed nickel oxide for the p-type transparent layer, and zinc oxide for the n-type layer.We formed this heterojunction p-NiO/n-ZnO using widely available largescale sputtering.1 Our device has no opaque metal electrode, enabling full transparency (visible light permission>80%). Furthermore, our methodology does not contain any toxic chemical processing, and uses only Earth-abundant materials.2 Our optimized device, which has a 50nm-thick nickel layer, can efficiently absorb UV light and provides the highest responsivity and excellent detectivity. Our investigations revealed fast UV photodetection (24.2ms), which is attributed to defects and a very high absorption coefficient. Elsewhere, other wide bandgap indium tin oxide materials have been used as a nanoscale lens to focus the incident light onto a designated spot inside silicon. These results demonstrate the potential for improved silicon solar cell efficiency of 16% or higher2–4 for alternative approaches to conventional high efficiency silicon solar cells. (References) 1.
