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.

The facile and ecofriendly method for the synthesis of a suitable colloidal nanocrystal ink plays an important role in the field of solar cells. Here, we describe our recent efforts toward this direction by a simple one-pot colloidal method to engineer CuInSe2 (CISe) nanocrystals with cubic zincblende (ZB) structure. The suitable band gap value and obvious photoresponse of the as-synthesized CISe nanocrystals indicate their potential application in the field of thin film solar cells. In addition, a possible crystal growth mechanism has been suggested for the formation of ZB CISe.

Photon Collection

AbstractTin oxide (SnO2) is a durable, inexpensive transparent conducting oxide (TCO) material used for thin-film photovoltaic devices. However, the optical properties of conducting SnO2:F are generally not as good as in other conducting TCO materials such as ITO and ZnO:Al. Our previous analyses indicate that for thin-film solar cells, improving the optical properties of SnO2-coated glass could enhance photon collection and gain up to 10% additional photocurrent. Previously, we showed that some commercial SnO2 samples could have much higher optical absorption than others [2]. In this work, we continue our study on causes that could contribute to the high optical absorption of SnO2 films. The SnO2:F samples are fabricated by low-pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition or atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition with tin precursors that includes different amounts of chlorine. Optical, electrical, and compositional analyses were performed. In addition to the free-carrier-introduced optical absorption, the non-active dopant also impacts the optical absorption. Among the SnO2 films fabricated with different precursors, the optical properties show a relationship based on the level of chlorine in the precursors and films. With a low-optical-absorption SnO2 layer, the solar cell could have better photon collection and a higher short-circuit current density.
