Copper Indium di-Selenium, CuInSe2 (CISe) is the most promising absorber material for thin-film solar cells. CISe based solar cells have shown long-term stability and the highest conversion efficiencies of all thin-film solar cells, above 19%. Moreover, CISe based solar cells are very stable and thus their operational lifetimes are long. The deposition method generally has a large impact on the resulting film properties as well as on the production costs. CISe can be prepared by a variety of methods like physical and chemical methods. The present review discusses first the liquid phase synthesis method like chemical bath deposition (CBD), electro-deposition (ED), spray pyrolysis (SP), and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method (SILAR), etc. Next, the structural, optical, electrical, and photo-electrochemical properties of CISe, as well as features of solar cells made thereof are reviewed. The last part of the text deals with the application of CISe thin-film absorbers in solar cells. The photo-response properties of the CISe are discussed how they can improve the efficiency and reduce the cost in potential applications.

“…The ternary I−III−VI 2 semiconductor of CuInSe 2 has advantageous applications in thin-film solar cells because of its large absorption coefficient, low band gap (∼1.05 eV), and good radiation stability. − Films of CuInSe 2 have been fabricated with various methods, such as molecular beam epitaxy, liquid-phase epitaxy, and halogen vapor phase epitaxy . Polycrystalline CuInSe 2 films have also been grown by metal−organic chemical vapor deposition using separate Cu and In precursors .…”

Single-crystalline chalcopyrite CuInSe(2) nanorods (CuInSe(2)NRs) of 50-100 nm in diameter and up to a few micrometers in length have been synthesized solvothermally. High-resolution transmission electron microscopic images of the CuInSe(2)NRs reveal the d-spacing of 0.335 nm for the (112) crystalline planes and a growth direction along [331]. The near-infrared absorption spectrum of the chalcopyrite CuInSe(2)NRs shows a peak maximum at 1162 nm and an onset at 1262 nm, indicating no apparent blue-shift compared with those of Cu-rich CuInSe(2) thin films. An intense peak at 175.1 cm(-1) in the room-temperature Raman scattering spectrum of CuInSe(2)NRs corresponds to the A(1) phonon mode of tetragonal CuInSe(2) chalcopyrite. The narrower full width at half-maximum (fwhm) of 9.5 cm(-1) for CuInSe(2)NRs, in comparison with fwhm approximately 12 cm(-1) for CuInSe(2) films, indicates a uniform size distribution and single crystallization in the nanorods. Analysis of the photoluminescence from the single-crystalline CuInSe(2)NRs measured at 10 K has categorized the emission into seven groups of transitions as characterized by free excitons, bound excitons, conduction band to acceptor levels, and bound excitons at different defects.

“…To give an example, films of CuInSe 2 have been grown using such methods as molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) [38][39][40], liquid-phase epitaxy [41], and halogen vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) [42]. But this methods are quite complicated, so the synthesis of core/shell materials based on an CIS core and organic surfactant as shell can be an interesting alternative on the development of the photovoltaic devices.…”

Hybrid materials consist of inorganic nanoparticles embedded in polymer matrices. An advantage of these materials is to combine the unique properties of one or more kinds of inorganic nanoparticles with the film forming properties of polymers. Most of the polymers can be processed from solution at room temperature enabling the manufacturing of large area, flexible and light weight devices. To exploit the full potential for the technological applications of the nanocrystalline materials, it is very important to endow them with good processing attributes. The surface of the inorganic cluster can be modified during the synthesis by organic surfactants. The surfactant can alter the dispersion characteristic of the particles by initiating attractive forces with the polymer chains, in which the particles should be homogenously arranged. In this review, we present wet chemical methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles, which have been used as photovoltaic materials in polymer blends. The photovoltaic performance of various inorganic/organic hybrid solar cells, prepared via spin-coating will be the focus of this contribution.
