Characterization of tmed-copper (I) iodide (Cul) thin film and performance for solid state dye sensitized solar cell applications

This thesis investigates the use of eco-friendly copper (I) iodide or cuprous iodide (Cul), a p-type semiconductor material, with the incorporation of a chelating agent or organic ligand, called tetramethylethylenediamine (TMED@TMEDA) in the preparation for solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (DS...
