研究目的
To study the effect of incorporation of sulphur on the structural, morphological and optical properties of CdSe thin films deposited by solution processed spin coating technique.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated the deposition of CdSexS1-x thin films using a simple solution processed spin coating technique. The films exhibited hexagonal crystal structure, uniform morphology, and direct energy band gap tunable between 1.82 eV to 2.32 eV. The incorporation of sulphur increased the band gap, making the films suitable for use as an absorption layer in solar photovoltaic cells.
研究不足
The study focuses on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of CdSexS1-x thin films. The electrical properties and device performance are not discussed.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a simple solution processed spin coating technique to deposit ternary compound semiconductor CdSexS1-x thin films on glass substrates. Cadmium acetate, sodium selenosulfate, and thiourea were used as source materials for Cd2+, Se2?, and S2? ions, with triethanolamine as a capping agent.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Glass substrates were used for deposition. The pH of the final solution was adjusted to ~11 using 25% concentrated NH4OH solution.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Spin coater, X-ray diffractometer (Bruker AXS, D8 Advanced), scanning electron microscopy (EVO 18, Carl Zeiss), UV-Vis-NIR Spectrophotometer (Cary 4000), and FTIR spectrometer (BRUKER Vertex 70 V).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The deposition conditions were kept constant (rotation speed 2000 rpm for 30 s and substrate dried in the air at 120 °C for 2 min). The as-deposited thin films were annealed at 350 °C for 30 min.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
XRD for structural analysis, SEM for morphological studies, EDX for elemental composition, and UV-Vis-NIR for optical properties.
