Reaction kinetics of α-CuInSe2 formation from an In2Se3/CuSe bilayer precursor film

Chemical incorporation of copper into indium selenide thin‐films for processing of CuInSe2 solar cells

“…2CuSe + In 2 Se 3 → 2CuInSe 2 + Se (evaporated) This reaction has been observed directly by high temperature in situ XRD measurements during annealing studies of evaporated bilayers [28]. The incorporation and subsequent loss of selenium during these two reactions should result in first an increase and then a decrease in the volume of the layer.…”

In situ investigation on selenization kinetics of Cu–In precursor using time-resolved, high temperature X-ray diffraction

“…The reaction kinetics in terms of an activation energy and reaction order were estimated using two solid-state reaction models, the ''Avrami'' and ''parabolic rate'' models [14][15][16]. The Avrami model analysis is a widely used method for the preliminary identification of the growth rate law.…”

CuInSe2 nano-crystallite reaction kinetics using solid state reaction from Cu2Se and In2Se3 powders

“…This leads to CIS powders prepared using the conventional solid state reaction unsuitable for application in wet processing to fabricate CIS thin film solar cells. To date, previous studies on the reaction mechanism and kinetics of CIS formation concentrated primarily on the bilayer In 2 Se 3 /CuSe precursor films [18][19][20][21]. Kim et al [18] investigated the reaction mechanism and kinetics of CIS formation from bilayer * Corresponding author.…”
