Low-cost thin film oxide/oxide heterojunctions based photovoltaic solar cells are one of the alternatives to silicon solar cells, among the potential photovoltaic devices based on semiconductor oxides.Cuprous oxide is a potential material for the fabrication of low cost solar cells for terrestrial application. In this article, firstly, we reviewed cuprous oxide Crystal structure, Band structure, different properties of cuprous oxide material such as electrical and transport properties and photoluminescence. Then we discuss in detail the synthesis techniques for the production of copper oxide such as Thermal Oxidation, Anodic Oxidation, Electrodeposition, Sputtering, Chemical vapor deposition etc. Latter on a detailed survey on the previous work so far carried out on Cu2O based solar cells is presented.Thefabrication and cellperformance of based Solar Cells is also discussed.
