Fabrication and characterization of CNT/ZnO thin film junction for photovoltaic application

Concern about energy supply and climate change has been brought into the essential discussion. There is a clear need to make energy cheap, readily accessible and green. The Photovoltaic cell (PV) is the energy source in the development of solar cell technology that can deliver low cost electricity g...
