研究目的
Investigating the effect of solution-processed CuSCN and AgSCN as doping sources on the performance of CdTe solar cells.
研究成果
Solution-processed CuSCN and AgSCN can effectively serve as doping sources in CdTe solar cells, achieving power conversion efficiencies of 17.1% and 16.2%, respectively. CuSCN offers dual functionality as a hole transport layer and doping source, while AgSCN provides a slower diffusion rate, potentially improving device stability.
研究不足
The study highlights the potential of CuSCN and AgSCN as doping sources but notes the higher resistivity of AgSCN may limit its effectiveness compared to CuSCN. The long-term stability of AgSCN-doped devices was suggested but not extensively tested.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed solution-processed CuSCN and AgSCN as doping sources in CdTe solar cells to investigate their effects on device performance.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Commercial TEC15 (Fluorine doped SnO2 coated soda lime glass) was used as the substrate for CdTe solar cells.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
CuSCN (99% Sigma-Aldrich), AgSCN (99% Sigma-Aldrich), diethyl sulfide (DES, 98%, Sigma Aldrich), magnetron sputtering system, Stylus profiler (Dektak II), solar simulator (Newport, Oriel Class AAA 94063A), source meter (Keithley 2420), calibrated Si-reference cell and meter (Newport, 91150V), solar cell spectral response measurement system (QE-T, Enli Technology, Co. Ltd).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
CdTe solar cells were fabricated by CSS deposition. CuSCN and AgSCN solutions were prepared, spin-coated on CdTe surfaces, and the thickness was controlled. The back contact was screen printed graphite. Device performance was measured under AM
5:5G irradiation. Data Analysis Methods:
Device performance parameters (Voc, Jsc, FF, PCE) were analyzed, and EQE spectra were characterized.
