A Novel Strategy for Preparation of Cu₂(M^II)(M^IV)S₄ Thin Films for Solar Cell: Sulfurization of Mixed Metal Oxides Precursor Synthesized by Combustion Method

Abstract:

In this study, a novel strategy for preparation of Cu₂(M^II)(M^IV)S₄ thin films was creatively proposed. Three light absorption materials Cu₂MnSnS₄, Cu₂ZnSnS₄ and Cu₂ZnGeS₄ were successfully synthesized based on combustion method. It was found that the combustion synthesized powder is mainly consist of several metal oxides. The band gap energy of Cu₂MnSnS₄, Cu₂ZnSnS₄ and Cu₂ZnGeS₄ are determined to be 1.3 eV, 1.49 eV and 2.15 eV, respectively, showing a promising application on thin film solar cells. According to our experiment results, the combustion method was confirmed to be an efficient tool to synthesize various Cu-based absorber materials by using a post-sulfurization process, which provides a new view for fabrication of high-efficient low-cost photovoltaics.
