研究目的
Investigating the effect of different solvents on the characteristic properties of nebulizer spray pyrolyzed Cu2ZnSnS4 absorber thin films for photovoltaic application.
研究成果
The CZTS film deposited using precursor solution derived from water exhibits phase purity along with enhanced photovoltaic properties at a substrate temperature of 350°C through nebulizer assisted spray pyrolysis technique. This study recommends Water as the solvent for fabricating CZTS films for photovoltaic applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to the effect of solvents on the properties of CZTS thin films deposited by nebulizer assisted spray pyrolysis at a fixed substrate temperature of 350°C. The potential for optimization in terms of other deposition parameters and post-deposition treatments like annealing and sulfurization is not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The nebulizer assisted spray pyrolysis technique was employed to deposit CZTS absorber thin films on bare soda lime glass substrates at 350°C using different solvents (DMSO, Ethylene diamine, 2-Methoxy ethanol, and Water).
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Bare soda lime glass substrates were used. Analytical grade reagents from Sigma Aldrich were used without further purification.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
X-ray diffractometer, Raman spectrometer, Scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer, Atomic force microscope, UV-vis spectrophotometer, digital current source meter, and Hall measurement system.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Precursor solutions were prepared in different solvents, sprayed on substrates, and characterized for structural, morphological, compositional, optical, and electrical properties.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Structural parameters were calculated using Scherrer’s formula, microstrain, and dislocation density. Optical properties were analyzed using Tauc’s plot method. Electrical properties were measured using I-V characteristics and Hall measurements.
