Abstract:
Cation substitution plays a crucial role in improving the efficiency of Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) solar cells. In this work, we report a significant efficiency enhancement of flexible CZTSSe solar cells on Mo foils by partial substitution of Cu + with Ag + . It is found that the band gap (E g ) of (Cu 1-x Ag x ) 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CAZTSSe) thin films can be adjusted by doping with Ag with x from 0 to 6%, and the minimum E g is achieved with x = 5%. We also found that Ag doping can obviously increase the average grain size of the CAZTSSe absorber from 0.4 to 1.1 μm. Additionally, the depletion width (W d ) at the heterojunction interface of CAZTSSe/CdS is found to be improved. As a result, the open-circuit voltage deficit (V oc,def ) is gradually decreased, and the band tailing is suppressed. Benefiting from the enhanced open-circuit voltage (V oc ), the power conversion efficiency (PCE) is successfully enhanced from 4.34% (x = 0) to 6.24% (x = 4%), and the V oc,def decreases from 915 to 848 mV. © 2018 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
