Multifunctional anisotropic coding metasurface with low emissivity and High optical transmittance

Hybrid solar cells were fabricated using aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) grown by electrochemical deposition from chloride electrolyte solutions with Al/Zn molar ratios of 0.5, 2.5, and 5.0%. The substrates were AZO- and ZnO-seeded ITO. Ordered nanorod structures with high optical transmittance were grown at 0.5% Al/Zn ratio while interconnected micron-sized flakes were grown at 2.5% and 5.0%. The estimated band gap energies increase for higher Al dopant content, showing Burstein-Moss effect. EDX analysis detected high aluminum content in the 5.0% samples suggesting that insulating aluminum oxide phases were formed thus causing reduced solar cell efficiencies. The highest power conversion efficiency of 1.71%, from the 0.5% sample grown on ZnO-seeded ITO, can be attributed to the presence of AZO nanorods which provide a large interfacial area and effective charge transport.

Ito Films

ITO films on PET in combination with ITO films on glass substrates are extensively used in Touch Panel Displays fabrication. Main properties of interest for these systems are high optical transmittance ∽95%, low resistivity ∽10−3 Ωcm, coupled with uniform and stable sheet resistivity demanded for long term use.The goal of this investigation is to understand relationship between microstructure and electrical/optical properties of ITO films on PET and glass substrates as a function of pre- and postdeposition annealing parameters.ITO films of ∽60 nm thick have been deposited by radiofrequency magnetron sputtering. This method can be applied over a wide range of substrate temperatures. This is essential for plastic substrates such as PET. Regions of good and poor conductivity have been identified for TEM analysis and Analytical Electron Microscope (Philips 400 EM), equipped with light element Noran Instrument Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer (EDXS) have been utilized.
