研究目的
Investigating the optical properties of CuInSe2 and CuInS2 thin films deposited on ITO substrates for photovoltaic applications.
研究成果
CIS thin films prepared using sulfur as a precursor exhibit strong absorbance, low transmittance, and a band gap energy of 1.46 eV, making them suitable for solar cell applications. The films also show higher refractive index and extinction coefficient values compared to those prepared with selenium.
研究不足
The study focuses on the optical properties of the films and does not extensively explore their electrical properties or performance in actual photovoltaic devices. The comparison is limited to two precursors, and the effect of other deposition parameters is not investigated.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a low-cost electrochemical deposition technique to deposit CuInSe2 and CuInS2 thin films on ITO substrates. The pH of the solution was maintained at 1.6, with an applied potential of -0.750 V and a deposition time of 60 minutes. Sodium citrate was used as a complexing agent.
2:6, with an applied potential of -750 V and a deposition time of 60 minutes. Sodium citrate was used as a complexing agent.
Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: ITO-coated glass substrates were used. The films were characterized using optical microscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy to extract optical parameters.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Autolab potentiostat/galvanostat, three-electrode cell (working electrode: ITO-coated glass substrate, reference electrode: Ag/AgCl, counter electrode: platinum plate), optical microscope, UV-Vis spectrometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Films were deposited potentiostatically, rinsed with DI water, dried, and annealed at 350°C for 5 minutes. Optical microscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy were used for characterization.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Optical parameters such as absorbance, transmittance, band gap energy, refractive index, extinction coefficient, and dielectric constant were calculated from UV-Vis data.
