Electrodeposition of single phase CuInSe2 for solar energy harvesting : role of different acidic additives by Sun, Juan, Tran, Phong D., Wong, Lydia H., Batabyal, Sudip Kumar

“…Traditionally, the deposition of single phase CIS requires the use of a suitable chelating agent to shift the Cu2+/Cu redox couple towards the redox potential of the In3+/In couple, and also an acid to adjust the pH of deposition bath around 2. We propose a novel idea of using suitable acids that could concurrently also serve as the chelating agent. …”
