研究目的
To study the effect of potassium treatments on solution-processed CIGSSe films grown from colloidal sulfide-based nanoparticle inks and to compare these effects with sodium treatments.
研究成果
Potassium treatments enhance the grain growth and optoelectronic performance of solution-processed CIGSSe solar cells, with the best performance achieved through combined sodium and potassium treatments. The study provides a foundation for further optimization of alkali treatments in solution-processed solar cells.
研究不足
The study does not fully elucidate the mechanism by which potassium enhances grain growth in CIGSSe films. Additionally, the detrimental effects of excessive potassium on fill factor are noted but not fully explained.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of Cu(In,Ga)S2 nanoparticles via a solvo-thermal/hot-injection reaction, followed by selenization to form CIGSSe films. Alkali treatments (NaF and KF) were applied via e-beam evaporation prior to selenization.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples were selenized at 500 oC for 20 minutes under a Se-argon atmosphere.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a tubular furnace for selenization, X-ray fluorescence instrument for elemental ratios, FEI Quanta electron microscope for SEM images, Rigaku SmartLab diffractometer for XRD, Horiba/John Yvon HR800 confocal microscope for Raman spectroscopy, and Kratos AXIS Ultra DLD Imaging X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer for XPS. Materials included Cu(II) acetylacetonate, In acetylacetonate, Ga acetylacetonate, sulfur, oleylamine, NaF, and KF.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involved nanoparticle synthesis, film coating, alkali treatment, selenization, and device fabrication.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis included SEM image analysis for grain size, XPS for surface chemistry, and J-V measurements for device performance.
