Intermixing at the heterointerface between ZnS/Zn„S,O... bilayer buffer and CuInS2 thin film solar cell absorber
The application of Zn compounds as buffer layers was recently extended to wide-gap CuInS2 CIS based thin-film solar cells. Using an alternative chemical deposition route for the buffer preparation aiming at the deposition of a single-layer, nominal ZnS buffer without the need for any toxic reactants such as hydrazine has helped us to achieve a similar efficiency as respective CdS-buffered refer...
متن کاملOptimization of Annealing Process for Totally Printable High-current Superstrate CuInS2 Thin-Film Solar Cells
Planar superstrate CuInS2 (CIS) solar cell devices are fabricated using totally solution-processed deposition methods. A titanium dioxide blocking layer and an In2S3 buffer layer are deposited by the spray pyrolysis method. A CIS2 absorber layer is deposited by the spin coating method using CIS ink prepared by a 1-butylamine solvent-based solution at room temperature. To obtain optimum annealin...
متن کاملPreparation of Nanocrystalline CdS Thin Films by a New Chemical Bath Deposition Route for Application in Solar Cells as Antireflection Coatings
Nanocrystalline cadmium sulfide thin films as antireflection materials for solar cells have been prepared by a new chemical solution deposition route in an aqueous medium at 50 °C. as-deposited thin films were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and optical absorption spectra. X-ray diffraction data indicated the formation of hexagonal na...
متن کاملThe Electronic Effects of Cd on the Formation of the Cds/cuins2 Heterojunction
The possibility of doping and Fermi Level pinning of CuInS2 thin layer solar cell absorbers caused by the diffusion of Cd into the absorber during junction formation via chemical bath deposition was investigated. The analysis of thin CdS layers deposited on CuInS2 showed the amount of deposition-induced band bending on the CuInS2 surface (position of the Fermi Level in the respective band gaps)...
متن کاملPerformance and Loss Analyses of High-Efficiency CBD-ZnS/Cu(In1-xGax)Se2 Thin-Film Solar Cells
Chemically deposited ZnS has been investigated as a buffer layer alternative to CdS in polycrystalline thin-film Cu(In1-xGax)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells. Cells with efficiency of up to 18.1 % based on CBD-ZnS/CIGS heterostructures have been fabricated. This paper presents the performance and loss analyses of these cells based on the current-voltage (J-V) and spectral response curves, as well as comp...
