ABSTRACT:
A solar cell in which the essential feature is a thin film of lead-cadmium-sulphide alloy. This alloy is preferably formed by spray pyrolysis from a solution containing the necessary ingredients. The solar cell advantageously takes the form of a homojunction constructed of two layers of lead-cadmium-sulphide alloy, with one of the layers being p-doped and the other of the layers being n-doped. The solar cell may be produced with an intrinsic layer interposed between the p-type layer and the n-type layer. The solar cell may also be made with a semiconductive layer of lead-cadmium-sulphide in contact with a metallic substrate.
