The keys for development of copper-based chalcogenide crystal thin film solar cells are to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Oriented growth and band gap grading of its absorption layer crystal film are important ways to improve the efficiency. It proposed controllable preparation of this type thin film by chemical solution deposition and co-reduction, and study on the crystal orientation and regulation of the band gap gradient. It will design the composition and band gap gradient of multi-component and multilayer films, and establish the models for design, theoretical calculation and performance prediction; It will explore the effect of band gap gradient on electrical and optical properties and reveal the effecting laws and mechanism on electrical and optical properties.

Diffraction Angle

To reveal the effects of annealing condition on CZTSSe thin film solar cells, co-sputtering and subsequent selenization were used to prepare CZTSSe thin films. Structural, morphological and optical properties of CZTSSe thin films were investigated. CZTSSe thin films with various Se/(S+Se) ratio ranging from 0.69-0.78 were obtained. Representative peaks corresponding to CZTSSe in XRD and Raman results showed a slight shift to lower diffraction angle and wavenumbers. Selenization time significantly influenced the morphologies of CZTSSe films and the gradual grown up grain size was observed. VOCdeficit values down to 839 mV was achieved for the best cell. CZTSSe solar cell with the selenization time of 10 min showed a best conversion efficiency of 5.32%, which presented a 50% enhancement comparing to the solar cells with insufficient and over-selenized absorbers.
