Abstract
, 0-18%. According to the hot probe method, all films displayed p-type conductivity for the substitution of Cu metal atoms. These findings demonstrated that the prepared thin films are substantial candidates as low-cost, suitably efficient, thin-film solar cells featuring environmentally-friendly active layers that absorb sunlight.
