研究目的
Investigating the uniform selenization of crack-free films of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 nanocrystals for photovoltaic applications.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that crack-free films of CIGS nanocrystals can be uniformly selenized and incorporated into photovoltaic devices with reasonable efficiency. The uniformity of the nanocrystal films is crucial for the homogeneity of the selenized films and the performance of the devices. The research also highlighted the importance of adequate OLA ligand capping to prevent cracking in the films and the challenges associated with excess carbon and volume reduction during selenization.
研究不足
The study highlights the challenge of removing excess carbon in the film before selenization, which becomes problematic especially when selenization is carried out for too long, leading to additional Se accumulation in the underlying carbon-rich layer. The volume reduction during selenization can also lead to pinholes that reduce device performance.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of CIGS nanocrystals, their purification, and the deposition of nanocrystal films using an automated ultrasonic spray process. The films were then selenized and incorporated into photovoltaic devices.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
CIGS nanocrystals were synthesized with a targeted composition of CuIn
3：65Ga35SeThe nanocrystals were purified and dispersed in toluene for film deposition. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included an automated ultrasonic spray system (Sono-Tek ExactaCoat), a tube furnace for selenization, and SEM for characterization. Materials included CuCl, InCl3, GaCl3, Se powder, OLA, toluene, and ethanol.
