چکیده
In the present study, we provide useful data related to one of most promising materials in thin-film solar cell technologies: Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) kesterite structures. Sol-gel spin coating and chemical bath deposition methods were used fabricate further investigate Mo/CZTS/CdS/ZnO/AZO heterostructures. order examine crystal structure samples, Raman scattering measurements using two excitation wavelengths (514.5 nm 785 nm) performed. Three bands CZTS found, as well that had its origin CdS. By laser ablation performing spectroscopy on these modified it was shown during manufacturing process a MoS2 interlayer formed between Mo layers. Our method proved layer multilayer device fabricated by solution-based can be decomposed, thus detailed analysis Subsequently, current-voltage curves investigated terms essential electrical properties glass/Mo/p-CZTS/n-CdS/ZnO/AZO junctions occurring current transport mechanisms. Finally, AFM acquired study surface topography studied samples. The images showed surfaces uniform grain structure.

متن کاملThin-film amorphous silicon germanium solar cells with p- and n-type hydrogenated silicon oxide layers
Mixed-phase hydrogenated silicon oxide (SiOx:H) is applied to thin-film hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium (a-SiGe:H) solar cells serving as both p-doped and n-doped layers. The bandgap of p-SiOx:H is adjusted to achieve a highly-transparent window layer while also providing a strong electric field. Bandgap grading of n-SiOx:H is designed to obtain a smooth transition of the energy band e...
