Abstract

• In this work, Zinc Oxide Core layer films and Cu2O Shell layers were synthesized by using both Chemical Bath Deposition techniques and Spin Coating Method. X-ray diffraction techniques were used to examine the lattice distortion, dislocation density and position parameters of deposited Core-Shell layers upon Indium Tin Oxide glass substrates. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) study provides morphological of the sample surfaces. The photovoltaic properties of these Core-Shell nanostructure solar cells were investigated by current density-voltage characteristic. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) was influenced by the open-circuit voltage.
