Abstract

A prototype core–shell nanostructured solar cell with a p–n CdTe–TiO2 radial junction is constructed by pulse potential electrodeposition of CdTe into a TiO2 nanotube array. 1 : 1 stoichiometry of CdTe is achieved with a high filling rate. Measurements are done to characterize the photovoltaic properties of the as-fabricated solar cell with CdTe nanowire array as the absorber layer.
