研究目的
To investigate the potential of Cu3BiS3 thin films as solar absorber materials due to their earth-abundant and non-toxic constituent elements, and to evaluate their structural, optical, and electrical properties for solar cell applications.
研究成果
Cu3BiS3 thin films were successfully grown using thermal evaporation, showing improved photoelectric properties with increasing growth temperature. The films demonstrated suitable optical bandgap, electrical conductivity, and carrier concentration for solar cell applications. Initial solar cell devices showed photovoltaic behavior, indicating the potential of Cu3BiS3 as a solar absorber material.
研究不足
The study is limited by the deposition process and band gap alignment between CdS and Cu3BiS3 layers, which may affect the performance of the solar cell devices. Further optimization is needed to improve the interface behavior and reduce carrier recombination.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection
Cu-Bi-S thin films were deposited using a one stage co-evaporation process from Cu2S and Bi2S3 sources at various deposition temperatures.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources
Soda-lime glass slides were used as substrates. The films were characterized using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, EDS, optical characterization, XPS, SIMS, and Hall-effect measurements.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Anhydrous powder of copper(I) sulphide (Cu2S) and bismuth sulphide (Bi2S3), tungsten boats, Shimadzu spectrophotometer (UV-2600), Siemens D5000 diffractometer, Renishaw inVia Raman spectrometer, TESCAN MIRA3 SEM, Thermo Scientific K-Alpha XPS, Hiden Analytical SIMS, Keithley 2400 series source meter.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
Substrates were cleaned and placed into the deposition chamber. Cu2S and Bi2S3 were co-evaporated at a stable rate. The films were deposited at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 400°C. Solar cell devices were fabricated and characterized.
