제목 Synthesis of wurtzite CZTS NCs and their transformation into kesterite CZTSSe absorber layer for solar cell application
초록 The quaternary indium and gallium-free copper chalcogenide, Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) has driven much attention for its potential application in low-cost and sustainable solar cells. Here, we demonstrate a synthetic strategy for CZTS NCs and their by a fabrication of CZTSSe thin films with outstanding absorbing characteristics. In particular, pure phase metastable wurtzite CZTS NCs are synthesized by using environmentally benign polyol mediated technique. Furthermore, a scalable low-cost, binder free ink formulation process without the ligands exchange is developed using ethanol as a solvent with highly dispersed CZTS NCs. The wurtzite-derived CZTS NCs films are observed to undergo a phase transformation to a kesterite upon selenization at different temperatures ranging from 520 oC to 580 oC under Se vapor pressure in rapid thermal annealing (RTA). Results indicated that the increase in lattice parameters and slightly decrease the band gaps in the sulfo selenized CZTSSe thin film. Thus, the systematic changes have been observed in the sulfo-selenized CZTSSe thin films. The solar cell device fabricated using CZTS thin film selenized at optimized temperature of 520oC exhibited a better solar cell performance.
