Wurtzite CoO: a direct band gap oxide suitable for a photovoltaic absorberElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c8cc06777e

A direct band gap of 1.6 eV has been identified in wurtzite CoO thin films, which matches the required value to achieve a theoretically high conversion efficiency solar cell. Its p-type conduction has been determined and an intense sub-gap absorption between 0.7 and 1.1 eV has been observed. Wurtzit...

Zusammenfassung:A direct band gap of 1.6 eV has been identified in wurtzite CoO thin films, which matches the required value to achieve a theoretically high conversion efficiency solar cell. Its p-type conduction has been determined and an intense sub-gap absorption between 0.7 and 1.1 eV has been observed. Wurtzite CoO is a p-type semiconductor with a direct band gap of 1.6 eV and an intense sub-gap absorption.
