Growth Mechanism and Properties of Nanostructure Cu2ZnSnSe4 Thin Films and Solar Cells

Siyu Wang,
Zhan Shen,
Yue Liu
et al.

Abstract: The quality of the absorber layer is considerably important in thin-film solar cells. The precursor stacking with uniform distribution of metal elements is usually considered to be critical while preparing high-quality kesterite-structured thin-film solar cells. However, the Mo/Zn/Cu/Sn/Cu stacking order may be more reasonable after considering the growth mechanism of films. Herein, the growth mechanism and thus the solar cells prepared with these two stacking sequences Mo/Zn/Cu/Sn/Cu and Mo/Sn/Cu/Zn/Sn/Cu are… Show more

“…As can be appreciated, the multiple peak fitting revealed two peaks centered at 173 and 190 cm −1 . All these peaks are attributed to and are characteristics of the kesterite Cu2ZnSnSe4 phase and well matched to literature reports [4,8,35,45,52,53]. The most intense peak in the Raman spectrum of the tetragonal kesterite Cu2ZnSnSe4 phase is observed at 190 cm −1 , which corresponds to the purely anionic vibrations (A1 mode) of selenium surrounded with motionless neighboring atoms [3,35,42].…”

“…The average crystallite size evaluated from the (112) CZTSe diffraction peak was ~35 nm, inferring its nanocrystalline character. However, it is worth mentioning that due to the overlapping between characteristic XRD peaks of CZTSe and the diffraction peaks of Cu x Se, Cu 2 SnSe 3 , and ZnSe XRD patterns [4,8,42,51], the coexistence of these phases cannot be completely excluded based solely on XRD analysis [4,8,42,51]. Therefore, to confirm the structural properties of the CZTSe nanocrystalline samples and provide a more comprehensive understanding, Raman spectroscopy has been used as a complementary tool to distinguish and ensure the formation of the pure Cu 2 ZnSnSe 4 phase.…”
