摘要: Inorganic cesium lead halide compounds have gained an increasing interest in the perovskite photovoltaics research community. These compounds are mixed into state of the art organic lead halide perovskite solar cells to provide for more thermal stability, and CsPbX3 (x=I, Br, Cl) nanocubes are investigated as standalone emitter material in light emitting diodes. Eventually, reproducible, single-phase CsPbBr3 thin films could also provide us with a more stable inorganic material for perovskite solar cells. In the present work, we report on microscopic structural and optoelectronic properties of Cs-Pb-Br thin films prepared by different synthesis methods and studied using various electron-microscopy techniques.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Chicago, IL, USA (2019.6.16-2019.6.21)] 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Electroreflectance studies of Zn(O,S) buffer layers in Cu(In,Ga)Se <sub/>2</sub> solar cells: Bandgap energies and secondary phases
摘要: Solution-grown Zn(O,S) buffer layers in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells are investigated by angle-resolved electroreflectance (ER) spectroscopy. We demonstrate that ER can be used directly to measure the bandgap energy of very thin Zn(O,S) buffer layers in the device. Furthermore, ER measurements on CIGS solar cells with different gallium concentrations before and after thermal annealing (TA) were conducted and show no significant influence of the gallium concentration and TA on the buffer’s bandgap energy, as determined in the range of 2.8 – 2.9 eV. Moreover, some ER spectra exhibit an additional contribution at 2.3 eV. This finding can be ascribed to a secondary phase at the interface between CIGS absorber and Zn(O,S) buffer layer.

Na-mediated stoichiometry control of FeS <sub/>2</sub> thin films: suppression of nanoscale S-deficiency and improvement of photoresponse
摘要: Control of the constituent phase and stoichiometry of iron pyrite (FeS2) is a prerequisite for high-performance photovoltaic devices based on this material. If the pyrite contains sulfur-deficiency-related secondary phases, which have a metallic character and a high possibility of coexistence in pyrite films, significant carrier recombination is expected. In this work, the beneficial role of Na in suppressing the formation of nanoscale or amorphous sulfur-deficient secondary phases is reported with experimental evidence, leading to a higher phase purity for solution-processed pyrite films. The potential reduction of charge recombination via these metallic secondary phases results in significant improvements in both the photopotential and photocurrent intensity of Na-modified pyrite films compared with reference samples.

CuZnSn(SxSe1-x)4 Solar Cell Prepared by the Sol-Gel Method Following a Modified Three-Step Selenization Process
摘要: In current work, Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 thin films have been prepared by the sol-gel method based on dimethyl sulfoxide solution followed by a modified three-step selenization process. The key process of this method is to divide the Se evaporation and annealing into two different stages: employ a thermal cracking Se source in the Se evaporation stage and an above-atmospheric pressure in the annealing process. The morphological, structural, elemental distributional, and photovoltaic properties of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 thin films prepared with the three-step selenization process were systematically investigated. It was found that through this modified selenization process, the formations of secondary phases (ZnSe, CuSnSe3) and a fine-grain bottom layer, which usually exists in the traditional one-step selenization process, were effectively suppressed. These improvements could further reduce the carrier recombination and improve the solar cell performance. The best solar cell is obtained with a short-circuit current density of 28.16 mA/cm2, open-circuit voltage of 404.91 mV, fill factor of 62.91%, and a power conversion efficiency of 7.17% under air mass 1.5 (100 mW/cm2) illumination.

Cu2ZnGe(S1-xSe x)4 – The challenge to synthesize single phase material
摘要: The variation of the band gap energy in Cu2ZnGeSe4 and Cu2ZnGeS4 from 1.4 eV to 1.7 eV, which is controlled by different S/(S+Se) ratios renders the Cu2ZnGe(S1-xSex)4 solid solution an interesting material for the application in multi-junction solar cells. Nevertheless, this system has a certain complexity due to the existence of different polymorphs. Cu2ZnGeSe4 crystallizes in the tetragonal kesterite type structure, whereas Cu2ZnGeS4 may crystallize in the tetragonal stannite or the orthorhombic wurtz-stannite type structure, respectively. To gain deeper insights into this complex system a systematic study of the solid solution series Cu2ZnGe(S1-xSex)4 was performed using polycrystalline material prepared by solid state reaction. The chemical analysis performed by wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy showed remarkable inhomogeneities with different quaternary phases co-existing within one sample. Additionally, a wide variety of binary and ternary secondary phases as well as elemental Ge was observed. The variety of secondary phases is higher in S-rich samples than in Se-rich samples of the solid solution. Thus, synthesis of Cu2ZnGe(S1-xSex)4 mixed crystals with off-stoichiometric composition is readily accompanied by the formation of various secondary phases making it a difficult task to obtain single phase material.
