Incorporation of green solvent for low thermal budget flower-like Copper(I) Iodide (?-CuI) for high-efficiency solar cell

High conductivity, density, and uniform Copper(I) Iodide (CuI) as Hole Transporting Layer (HTL) was prepared directly on an Indium-doped Tin Oxide (ITO) substrate. A new green solvent, namely Monoethanolamine (MEA) with no additional additives procedures was presented for the preparation, though the...
