Absorbance spectrum verified the absorption contribution of both TiO2 and CdTe to the absorption process. The solar cell parameters, such as open circuit voltage, short circuit current density, fill factor and power conversion efficiency were found to be 0.34 V, 1.27 mA cm-2, 28% and 0.12%, respectively. .EnglishNanorodSolar cellThin filmAbsorbance spectrumAbsorption processCdTe layersFluorine-dopedHydrothermal techniquesPower conversion efficienciesSolar cell parametersThin oxidesAbsorption spectroscopyCadmium tellurideHeterojunctionsNanorodsOpen circuit voltageOxide mineralsSubstratesThin filmsTitanium dioxideSolar cellsArticle10.1016/j.scriptamat.2013.05.012
