Abstract:
A favorable back contact interface is essential for obtaining efficient flexible Cu2ZnSn(S, Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin film solar cells. Here, Mo/CZTSSe back interfaces are improved by treating Mo foil substrates with a plasma method. MoO3 layers are generated on the Mo foils substrates with the plasma treatment, enhancing the wettability of the substrate surfaces and thus promoting the grain growth of the CZTSSe films. The contact resistance and barrier height (Phi B) at the Mo/CZTSSe interface is decreased, enhancing the transport of the hole carrier. Moreover, the quality of the CZTSSe/CdS heterojunction is significantly improved owing to the modified CZTSSe absorber. Ultimately, the flexible CZTSSe solar cell has achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10.59 % without antireflection coating. Benefiting from the positive modification at Mo/CZTSSe interface, the PCE of the flexible device still maintains 95.87 % of the initial PCE after bending 5000 times at the bending diameter of 2 cm. This simple and effective way of optimizing the back interface provides a new direction for the PCE improvement of the flexible CZTSSe solar cells.
