研究目的
Investigating the effects of light Na-doping on the performance and the band alignment of CZTS/CdS thin-film solar cells.
研究成果
Na-doping on the CZTS surface reduces the cliff-like CBO from 0.25 eV to 0.1 eV, improving the open-circuit voltage, filling coefficient, and efficiency to 0.653 V, 63.5%, and 7.46% respectively. This study highlights the potential of Na or other alkali element doping in Cu-based photovoltaic materials.
研究不足
The amount of Na doping has not been optimized, and the recombination mechanism induced by the Na-related defects is not clarified. The efficiency of CZTS:Na solar cells still lags behind the theoretical value.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
CZTS and CZTS:Na thin films were fabricated by spin coating with specific solutions and sulfurized at 560 °C.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Thin films were deposited onto Mo-glasses, and characterization was done using XRD, FESEM, EPMA, XPS, Hall effect measurement, PL, UPS, and J-V characteristics.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments included XRD (Rigaku Ultima IV), FESEM (FEI Nova Nano450), EPMA (JOEL JXA-8230), XPS (Thermo Fisher Scientific K-Alpha+), Hall effect measurement system (Lakeshore Cryotronics model 7504), PL (San Design MG60), UPS (Thermo Fisher ESCALAB 250xi), and a standard AM
4:5 spectrum solar simulator. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involved spin coating, sulfurization, deposition of CdS, i-ZnO, and ITO layers, and characterization.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using Scherrer’s formula for grain size, Gaussian fitting for PL spectra, and linear extrapolation for VB edge in XPS spectra.
