研究目的
To tune the color of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin-film solar cells by controlling the optical interference between the sputtered Zn(O,S) buffer layer and indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent electrode layer, without any additional process and/or material, with minimal efficiency loss.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that the color of CIGS thin-film solar cells can be effectively tuned by controlling the thickness of the Zn(O,S) and ITO layers, which alters the optical interference. This method allows for a wide range of colors with minimal efficiency loss, making it suitable for applications requiring aesthetic considerations without compromising performance.
研究不足
The study was limited to the thickness variations of Zn(O,S) and ITO layers for color tuning. The impact of these variations on the electrical properties of the solar cells was not fully explored, and the study did not address the scalability of the process for industrial applications.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved tuning the color of CIGS thin-film solar cells by controlling the optical interference between the Zn(O,S) buffer layer and ITO transparent electrode layer. The thicknesses of these layers were varied to achieve different colors without additional materials or processes.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
CIGS thin-film solar cells were fabricated on soda-lime glass substrates with varying thicknesses of Zn(O,S) and ITO layers. The samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry, and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a scanning electron microscope (Hitachi, SU8230), spectroscopic ellipsometer (Woollam, M2000D), ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer, Lambda 750), and a current-voltage source meter (Keithley 2400). Materials included Mo, CIGS, Zn(O,S), and ITO thin films.
