Abstract

We demonstrate cuprous oxide (Cu₂O) based metal insulator semiconductor Schottky (MIS-Schottky) solar cells with efficiency exceeding 3%. A unique direct growth technique is employed in the fabrication, and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) serves simultaneously as a passivation and insulation layer on the active Cu₂O layer. The devices are the most efficient of any Cu₂O based MIS-Schottky solar cells reported to date.
