研究目的
Investigating the effects of copper doping on Sb2S3 thin-film solar cells to enhance their power conversion efficiency (PCE) through improved crystallinity, conductivity, and carrier concentration.
研究成果
The coevaporation strategy for Cu doping in Sb2S3 thin films via RTE significantly improved the film's crystallinity, conductivity, and carrier concentration, leading to enhanced solar cell performance. The PCE increased from 4.18% to 4.61%, demonstrating the potential of this doping technique for improving Sb2S3-based solar cells without modifying the existing RTE method.
研究不足
The study is limited by the substrate temperature constraint to avoid unwanted secondary phases, which may affect the doping efficiency and film quality. The performance improvement, while significant, is modest, indicating potential areas for further optimization.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A coevaporation strategy was introduced for copper-doped Sb2S3 by rapid thermal evaporation (RTE). The methodology aimed to enhance the film's crystallinity and electrical properties.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Sb2S3 thin films were doped with copper using a mixture of Sb2S3 and CuS powder. The concentration of Cu was varied to study its effects.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a rapid thermal evaporation system, SEM, XRD, XPS, UV–vis spectrometer, and solar simulator. Materials included Sb2S3 (98%, Aladdin Industrial Corporation) and CuS powder.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The deposition involved preheating the RTE system at 300°C, followed by rapid heating to 545°C for 30 s. The films were then naturally cooled.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Characterizations included SEM for morphology, XRD for crystal structure, XPS for chemical state, UV–vis for absorption spectra, and J–V curves for solar cell performance.
