TLDR
Copper alloyed ZnS was investigated as a p-type, transparentconducting material composed of earth-abundant elements as mentioned in this paper, and the results showed that transparency and conductivity were comparable to some of the best reported P-type materialswithour bestfilmsexhibitingconductivitiesof54Scm.Abstract:

TL;DR: Heterojunction p-(CuS)x:(ZnS)1-x/n-Si solar cells were fabricated with the nanocomposite film serving as a hole-selective contact and an open circuit voltage of 535 mV was observed, which compares favorably to other emerging heterojunction Si solar cells which use a low temperature process to fabricate the contact.

Influence of defects and dopants on the photovoltaic performance of Bi2S3: first-principles insights
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the photovoltaic efficiency of Bi2S3 solar cells is limited by its intrinsic point defects, i.e., both S vacancy and S interstitial can have high concentration and produce deep defect levels in the bandgap, leading to non-radiative recombination of electron-hole carriers and reduced minority carrier lifetime.

P-type electrical conduction in transparent thin films of CuAlO2
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a strategy for identifying oxide materials that should combine p-type conductivity with good optical transparency, and illustrate the potential of this approach by reporting the properties of thin films of CuAlO2, a transparent oxide having room-temperature p- type conductivity up to 1'S'cm−1.

Intrinsic n -type versus p -type doping asymmetry and the defect physics of ZnO
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the intrinsic defect physics of ZnO and find that ZnOs cannot be doped p type via native defects, despite the fact that they are shallow donors.
