dc.description.abstract	Cuprous oxide (n-Cu2O) and CuSCN (p-type) layers were deposited on copper substrates using photo-electrochemical method to form p-n junction solar cells. Further, n-Cu2O layers were deposited on Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) substrates using electro-deposition method. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the above layers were measured and I-V characteristics of n-Cu2O layers on copper (Cu) and ITO substrates deposited using above two methods were compared. It was found that when Cu2O layers deposited on ITO substrate by electro-deposition technique produced higher cell performance compared to the n-Cu2O layers deposited on Cu substrate by photo-electrochemical technique.	en_US
