  Transparent Conducting Oxides (TCOs) have important device applications used in solar cells as transparent electrodes. In particular, ZnO material has been investigated for many years due to its excellent physical properties and potential applications in transparent conductive contacts when it is doped by several types of doping. If n-type doping is easily achievable in ZnO, the realization of stable and reproducible p-type ZnO is still difficult. The group I (Li, Na) atoms could be potential candidates to result in p-type ZnO. The choice of lithium as a dopant is motivated firstly by its abundance in nature, its low cost compared to other alkali metals and its wide application. Undoped and Lithium-doped zinc oxide thin films (ZnO:Li) at different percentages (5, 15 and 25%) were prepared on glass substrates, using the sol–gel spin-coating method, and the influence of the Li con..
