The work herein discusses low-cost chemical depositionChemical deposition techniques developed and adapted for thin filmThin films photovoltaicPhotovoltaics applications. This discussion will report on the adapted technology, experimental designs, and the parametric trends observed while depositing Al-doped zinc oxide, and modificationsModification to other types of thin filmsThin films for various applications. This research gives rise to alternative processing techniques and materials in the solar and battery sectors. The need for cost-effective, efficient, and reliable photovoltaicPhotovoltaics technology has been growing rapidly over the past decade. Commonly used materials for PV thin-film materials are such as cadmium telluride and indium tin oxide. However, these materials have several drawbacks, such as their high raw material and manufacturing costs, emissions, and short deposition rates. To supplement these issues, AZO is being studied as an alternative to current technology. The proposed processing method in this effort is a hybrid technique, utilizing chemical bath deposition and spin-coating.
