Effects such as diffusion of elements from the electrodes to the internal layers, obstruction to moisture and oxygen, proper adhesion, and resistance to corrosion should also be taken under consideration. The choice of the electrodes also depends on the ETL or HTL materials used in the solar cells.
The market-dominating silicon solar cell is a pn junction with a thin highly-doped n-layer, the front, light-admitting electrode, on a p-type substrate. Light entering at the n-layer is partially absorbed in the diffusion layer adjacent to the depletion region that separates the photocharges, as well as in the p-layer behind the junction.
