研究目的
To analyze the chemical composition and structure of sprayed Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films using various spectroscopy techniques to identify element segregation, secondary phases, and the presence of a disordered kesterite structure.
研究成果
The study confirmed the formation of Cu2ZnSnS4 within the bulk of the films but also identified element segregation, secondary phases, and a disordered kesterite structure. Sulfurization improved the crystalline degree and compositional homogeneity but did not eliminate secondary phases, highlighting the need for selective etching treatments for photovoltaic applications.
研究不足
The study is limited by the surface sensitivity of the techniques used, which may not fully represent the bulk properties of the films. Additionally, the presence of secondary phases and the need for chemical etching to remove them could affect the performance of photovoltaic devices.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy with different laser wavelengths to analyze the films.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Cu2ZnSnS4 films were deposited on glass substrates using spray pyrolysis with different precursor solutions.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A VG Microtech ESCA 3000 system for XPS, EDAX Genesis XM4 Sys 60 for EDS, Zeiss Series Auriga for SEM, PANalytical X’Pert PRO for XRD, and Renishaw Invia Reflex for Raman spectroscopy.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Films were deposited, characterized, and then subjected to a sulfurization post-treatment.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Peak areas from XPS were used to estimate element percentages, and Raman spectra were analyzed to identify phases and structures.
