研究目的
Investigating the synthesis and physical properties of low cost, non toxic, earth abundant p-type CuInS2 thin film as absorber layer for photovoltaic application.
研究成果
The CuInS2 thin film was successfully deposited on glass substrates, demonstrating nanostructured growth with single tetragonal phase. The optical band gap was found to decrease with increasing temperature, and the film was confirmed to be p-type. These findings suggest potential for tuning the optical band gap of CIS films for future photovoltaic applications.
研究不足
The presence of metal sulfide and oxide impurities in the CIS film increases the energy band gap from its optimum value. The study did not employ sulfurization of the as-deposited films, leading to the detection of oxide phases such as In2O3 in the XRD.
