Recent global environment requires urgent progress and development of high performance solar cells as a clean energy source. At present, silicon is the most applicable solar cell material but semiconducting alternatives with high capability via low cost processing have been sought for coming into wide use. However, almost all are composed of poisonous, rare, and expensive elements. We propose here new alternative candidates, such as SnS, Sn2OS, CuInS2, and Cu2O thin films formed by a spray pyrolysis deposition (SPD), that are assumed to overcome these problems.
