研究目的
To design and fabricate a new modified stack layer for CZTSe solar cells that avoids rough surfaces, voids, and small-grained structures near the Mo back contact, aiming for high efficiency Cd-free CZTSe solar cells.
研究成果
The newly designed type-IV stack layer produced CZTSe absorbers with high crystal quality, free from voids and small-grained structures near the bottom. The (Zn,Sn)O-buffered CZTSe solar cell achieved a PCE of 8.31%, comparable to the 8.84% of the CdS-buffered cell, indicating the potential for high-efficiency Cd-free CZTSe solar cells.
研究不足
The study focuses on the fabrication and characterization of CZTSe solar cells with a specific modified stack layer. The performance comparison is limited to cells with CdS and (Zn,Sn)O buffers. The impact of other buffer materials or fabrication methods is not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved designing and fabricating four different precursor Cu-Zn-Sn films on Mo-coated soda-lime glass, followed by post-selenization to form CZTSe absorbers. Two types of CZTSe solar cells were made, one with a CdS buffer and the other with a (Zn,Sn)O buffer.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Four different precursor films (Type-I to Type-IV) were prepared and selenized. The fabricated absorbers were characterized using FE-SEM, EDS, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, PL, and TRPL measurements.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
FE-SEM (JSM-7001F, JEOL), EDS (Aztec, Oxford Instruments), Raman system (Alpha 300R, WITec), XRD machine (Smartlab, Rigaku), PL lifetime measurement system (C12132, Hamamatsu), solar simulator (Abet Tech.), and EQE system (Mcscience Inc.).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Precursor films were deposited by rf sputtering, selenized in a graphite box with Se powder, and characterized. Solar cells were fabricated with CdS or (Zn,Sn)O buffers and tested for performance.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The quality of the CZTSe absorbers was analyzed using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, PL, and TRPL. Solar cell performance was evaluated through J-V and EQE measurements.
