Chalcopyrite Compound

<div style="text-align: justify;">Thin film solar cell experience fast development, especially for thin film solar cell CdTe and Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS). However, the usage of rare element in the nature such as In, Te, and Ga and toxic such as Cd give limitation in the future development and production growth in big scale. Development of other alternative compound with maintain the profit of electronic and optic character which get from CIGS chalcopyrite compound will be explain. Compound of Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) is downward compound from CIGS with substitute the In and Ga element with Zn and Sn. The compound kesterite structure can be modified with variation of chalcogen element to get wanted character in solar cell application. Efficiency record of photovoltaic devices conversion used this compound or downward reach 9.7%.©2016 JNSMR UIN Walisongo. All rights reserved.</div>

Czts Thin Films

Abstract Electrochemical deposition was used to create a quaternary CZTS (Cu2ZnSnS4) kesterite thin layer. An aqueous solution of CZTS was used to deposit a thin layer over Indium Tin Oxide. The effects of deposition time (variation) on CZTS thin films under ambient conditions were investigated in this study. Several available characterization systems were used to study the samples as they were produced. The polycrystalline description of the layer is inveterate by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM as well as AFM study show that deposition time improved surface morphology and topography of CZTS thin films which increase several nm in grain size. Furthermore, depending upon the deposition duration, the optical study reveals an acceptable bandgap in a range of 1.44 to 1.71 eV. Characteristics of high-quality CZTS absorber layers for solar cell applications are discovered to be affected by deposition time variation. To check the effect of this bandgap variation (1.44 to 1.71 eV) on the performance of a CZTS based thin film solar cell, a simulation software SCAPS-1D is being used.

ABSTRACTThe focus of this work is on back contact improvement for sputtered CZTS thin film solar cells. Three methods have been investigated including a thin Ag coating, a thin ZnO coating on the Mo back contact and rapid thermal annealing of the back contact. All of these methods have been found to reduce defects such as voids as well as secondary phases at the back contact region and inhibit the formation of MoS2. Consequently all the mothods effectively enhances Voc, Jsc, FF and therefore efficiency significantly.
