Thin film solar cells are preferable to the researchers and in applications due to the minimum material usage and to the rising of their efficiencies. In particular, thin film solar cells, which are designed based one transition metal chalcogenide materials, paly an essential role in solar energy conversion market. In this paper, transition metals with chalcogenide Nickel selenide termed as (NiSe2/Si) are synthesized. To this end, polycrystalline NiSe2 thin films are deposited through the use of vacuum evaporation technique under vacuum of 2.1x10-5 mbar, which are supplied to different annealing temperatures. The results show that under an annealed temperature of 525 K, the nickel sulfoselenide thin films are polycrystalline with an efficient regularity and best crystalline quality. In addition, the results demonstrate that the intersection argument for the optical properties under investigation provid the direct bandgap, over which the films have inferred on variety (1.55 and 1.75 eV). Overall, the results illustrate that an efficiency of 2.89% can be achieved with 525 K temperature.

This work presents a novel technique to deposit ZnO thin films through a metal vacuum evaporation technique using colloidal nanoparticles (average size of 30 nm), which were synthesized by our research group, as source. These thin films had a thickness between 45 and 123 nm as measured by profilometry. XRD patterns of the deposited thin films were obtained. According to the HRSEM micrographs worm-shaped nanostructures are observed in samples annealed at 600 °C and this characteristic disappears as the annealing temperature increases. The films obtained were annealed from 25 to 1000 °C, showing a gradual increase in transmittance spectra up to 85%. The optical band gaps obtained for these films are about 3.22 eV. The PL measurement shows an emission in the red and in the violet region and there is a correlation with the annealing process.

The thin films of WO3were prepared on cleaned microscopic glass substrates by the electron beam evaporation technique. The films were coated at room temperature using pure WO3pellets as source. The prepared films were further post heat treated at different temperatures (100°C to 350°C) for about 1hr in air. The optical properties of WO3 thin films were studied in detail. The increase in the density of the film as the annealing temperature increases have been confirmed by the transmittance spectra. The film annealed at 250°C shows a strong photoluminescence peak. The peak intensity is found to be less for all other temperature. The observed results were discussed in terms of crystalline nature of WO3.
