The emergence of chalcogenides: A new era for thin film solar absorbers
This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in chalcogenide-based solar absorber materials and their potential to revolutionize solar energy conversion. Researchers are focused on chalcogenide materials due to their distinctive properties, aiming to harness solar energy efficiently in response to the increasing demand for sustainable energy sources. The application of chalcogenide absorbers with zinc blende and chalcopyrite structures, such as CdTe and Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGSe) has resulted in considerable advances in thin film photovoltaic performance at both the laboratory and commercial scales. However, concerns persist about toxicity and the scarcity of constituent elements in CIGSe/CdTe absorbers remains. Cu2ZnSn(S, Se)4 (CZTS, Se) materials based on the kesterite structure have emerged as appealing alternatives, promising non-toxicity and an abundance of constituent metals. CZTS, Se solar cells have a lower record power conversion efficiency of 14.9 % when compared to CIGSe (22.6 %), CdTe (22.1 %), and CIS (20 %) devices. This research highlights the emergence of chalcogenides as a promising material class for flexible thin-film solar absorbers.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Solid State Chemistry offers critical reviews and specialized articles written by leading experts in the field, providing a comprehensive view of solid-state chemistry. It addresses the challenge of dispersed literature by offering up-to-date assessments of research progress and recent developments. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between physical properties and structural chemistry, particularly imperfections like vacancies and dislocations. The reviews published in Progress in Solid State Chemistry emphasize critical evaluation of the field, along with indications of current problems and future directions. Papers are not intended to be bibliographic in nature but rather to inform a broad range of readers in an inherently multidisciplinary field by providing expert treatises oriented both towards specialists in different areas of the solid state and towards nonspecialists. The authorship is international, and the subject matter will be of interest to chemists, materials scientists, physicists, metallurgists, crystallographers, ceramists, and engineers interested in the solid state.
