Conducting coatings for photovoltaic cells containing carbon nanotubes and other carbon nanostructures and SnO2 were obtained. The surface of coating samples at all stages of synthesis was studied by means of a complex of mutually complementary physical-chemical methods of investigating the composition and structure of matter and materials: x-ray phase analysis (XPA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic-force microscopy (AFM), optical microscopy, and UV- and visible-range spectroscopy. In addition, measurements of the surface resistance of the coatings obtained were performed. It was determined that the obtained coatings SnO2– nanocarbon material based on nanotubes possessed the lowest electrical resistance.
