研究目的
To develop a new processing method and material structures to overcome the problems of high porosity, low crystallinity, and high concentration of carbon impurities in solution-processed transparent conducting doped ZnO thin films for optoelectronic devices applications.
研究成果
Highly transparent conductive AZO thin films were successfully fabricated using an aqueous solution process followed by UV exposure at a low annealing temperature. The films exhibited excellent photoelectric properties and were successfully applied in CZTS thin film solar cells, demonstrating comparable performance to those using sputtering deposited AZO thin films.
研究不足
The study is limited by the need for further optimization of the heat treatment temperature beyond 200 °C for better conductive stability, which is detrimental to the fabrication of thin film solar cells and other flexible electronics.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of AZO thin films using an aqueous solution process followed by UV exposure at a low annealing temperature. The aluminum citrate complex was used as the Al doping source.
