  "description" : "ZnO/CdSe/CuSCN extremely thin absorber (eta)-solar cells based on ZnO nano-wires have been successfully realized using easily accessible electrochemical and solution deposition techniques. An n-type ZnO film consisting of free-standing single crystal nano-wires several microns high and 100-200 nm in diameter was-deposited on a conducting glass (SnO{sub 2}:F) substrate covered by a thin spray pyrolysis ZnO electronic blocking layer. A 30-40-nm-thin layer of CdSe absorber was electrodeposited, coating the ZnO nano-wires. The voids between the ZnO/CdSe nano-wires were filled with p-type CuSCN; the entire assembly formed a p-i-n junction. The ZnO/CdSe nano-wire layer exhibited a high light-trapping effect, with an effective absorbance of {approx}89% and effective reflectance of {approx}8% in the 400-800 nm region of the solar spectrum (AM1.5). The effects of an annealing process on the CdSe grain size and on the energy conversion efficiency of the eta-solar cell have been analyzed. The obtained efficiencies, for cells with annealed CdSe (1.5-2.3%) show that the ZnO/CdSe/CuSCN nano-heterostructure is an interesting option for developing new solar cell devices. (authors)",
