摘要

(Zn, Mg)O缓冲层的应用显著改善了CZTSSe太阳能电池异质结的能带对准和界面质量,实现了功率转换效率(PCE)的突破。然而,溅射法制备的(Zn, Mg)O薄膜结晶度差,限制了其应用。为了解决这一问题,研究了溅射过程中的快速热处理(RTP)和衬底加热。我们的研究证明了RTP在减少氧空位(VO)和吸附氧(Oad)方面的有效性。此外,两种热处理都增加了(Zn, Mg)O薄膜的MgZn/(MgZn + Zn)比,从而增加了带隙。采用优化的热处理工艺,可以显著提高CZTSSe太阳能电池的器件性能,特别是填充系数(FF)和开路电压(VOC)。通过RTP和衬底加热获得的功率转换效率(PCE)分别为12.4%和12.3%,与未处理的CZTSSe太阳能电池相比有显著提高,最大PCE为9.5%。值得注意的是,12.4%是迄今为止含有(Zn, Mg)O缓冲液的CZTSSe太阳能电池的最高PCE。

Efficiency Enhancement of CZTSSe Solar Cells via Thermal Treatment of (Zn, Mg)O Buffer Layers for Improving Crystallinity and Reducing Point Defects

The application of (Zn, Mg)O buffer layers significantly improves the energy band alignment and the interface quality of the heterojunction of CZTSSe solar cells, leading to a breakthrough in power conversion efficiency (PCE). However, (Zn, Mg)O thin films prepared by sputtering typically exhibit poor crystallinity, limiting their application. Rapid thermal processing (RTP) and substrate heating during the sputtering are investigated to address this issue. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of RTP in reducing oxygen vacancies (VO) and adsorbed oxygen (Oad). Furthermore, it is identified that both thermal treatments increase the MgZn/(MgZn + Zn) ratio of (Zn, Mg)O thin films, thereby increasing their band gap. A notable improvement in the device performance of CZTSSe solar cells, particularly in fill factor (FF) and open-circuit voltage (VOC), is achieved by adopting optimal thermal treatment processes. Power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 12.4% and 12.3% are obtained through RTP and substrate heating, which are remarkably improved compared with the untreated CZTSSe solar cells with the maximum PCE of 9.5%. Notably, 12.4% is the highest PCE for CZTSSe solar cells with (Zn, Mg)O buffers to date.

期刊介绍: Progress in Photovoltaics offers a prestigious forum for reporting advances in this rapidly developing technology, aiming to reach all interested professionals, researchers and energy policy-makers. The key criterion is that all papers submitted should report substantial “progress” in photovoltaics. Papers are encouraged that report substantial “progress” such as gains in independently certified solar cell efficiency, eligible for a new entry in the journal''s widely referenced Solar Cell Efficiency Tables. Examples of papers that will not be considered for publication are those that report development in materials without relation to data on cell performance, routine analysis, characterisation or modelling of cells or processing sequences, routine reports of system performance, improvements in electronic hardware design, or country programs, although invited papers may occasionally be solicited in these areas to capture accumulated “progress”.
