研究目的
To investigate the effect of the sulfurization process on the structural, morphological and optical properties of Cu2ZnxFe1-xSnS4 thin films by varying Fe content.
研究成果
The sulfurization process significantly improves the crystallinity and optical properties of Cu2ZnxFe1-xSnS4 thin films, with Cu2Zn0.75Fe0.25SnS4 and Cu2ZnSnS4 showing the best crystallinity and optimal band gap values for solar cell applications. Future work will explore variations in sulfurization conditions and the incorporation of optimized layers in solar cells.
研究不足
The sulfurization conditions may not be adequate for all samples, leading to poor crystallinity and the presence of secondary phases. The study is limited to the effects of sulfurization at 400 °C and does not explore variations in sulfurization time, annealing temperature, or layer thickness.
