研究目的
To improve the efficiency of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) solar cells by modifying the heterojunction interface chemistry to reduce interface defects and suppress recombination.
研究成果
The introduction of ammonium hydroxide during Zn1?xCdxS deposition significantly reduces Zn-related hydroxide and oxide impurities, improving the heterojunction interface quality and suppressing recombination. This leads to enhanced device performance, achieving over 10% efficiency in CZTS solar cells. However, further interface engineering is required to fully alleviate recombination limitations.
研究不足
The study is limited by the remaining ZnO phase in ZnCdS buffer and poor crystallinity of the buffer layer, which still contribute to interface recombination. Further optimization of the heterojunction interface is needed.
