研究目的
Investigating the fabrication of Sb2Se3 thin film solar cells by co-sputtering of Sb2Se3 and Se targets to address the issue of Se vacancies and increased recombination centers in films.
研究成果
Sb2Se3 films prepared by co-sputtering exhibited better crystallinities and a preferred orientation along the [2 2 1] direction, which provides easier carrier transport. Supplemental Se decreased the number of Se vacancies in the films and improved their optical and electrical properties. Solar cells with a structure of FTO/CdS/Sb2Se3/Au achieved an efficiency as high as 3.47%.
研究不足
The study focuses on the fabrication of Sb2Se3 thin film solar cells by co-sputtering of Sb2Se3 and Se targets, but does not explore other methods or materials for improving solar cell efficiency.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Sb2Se3 films were deposited by RF magnetron co-sputtering with Sb2Se3 and Se targets. The substrate temperature was 350 °C without a subsequent annealing process.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The Se content was controlled by adjusting the sputtering power of the Se target.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
RF magnetron sputtering system, Sb2Se3 and Se targets (
4:99%), FTO substrate, CdS films, gold electrodes. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The background pressure of the chamber was
5:0 × 10?6 Torr, and Ar was introduced at a rate of 25 sccm. The sputtering pressure was maintained at 0 × 10?3 Torr. Data Analysis Methods:
The structures and crystallinities of the Sb2Se3 films were detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering analyses, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), UV–visible spectrophotometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS).
