“…[1][2][3] Currently, crystalline Si (c-Si) solar cells make up over 80% of the world PV market. However, a thick layer of c-Si is required to achieve a high conversion efficiency, because c-Si has an indirect bandgap with a low absorption coefficient.…”

The properties of thin film solar cells based on electrodeposited CuIn(Se,S)2 were investigated. The proposed solar cell fabrication method involves a single-step CuInSe2 thin film electrodeposition followed by sulfurization in a tube furnace to form a CuIn(Se,S)2 quaternary phase. A sulfurization temperature of 450–550°C significantly affected the performance of the CuIn(Se,S)2 thin film solar cell in addition to its composition, grain size and bandgap. Sulfur(S) substituted for selenium(Se) at increasing rates with higher sulfurization temperature, which resulted in an increase in overall bandgap of the CuIn(Se,S)2 thin film. The highest conversion efficiency of 3.12% under air mass (AM) 1.5 illumination was obtained from the 500°C-sulfurized solar cell. The highest External Quantum Efficiency (EQE) was also observed at the sulfurization temperature of 500°C.

“…x Al x Se 2 with x=Al/(In+Al) close to 0.4 in order to match optimum absorption of the solar spectrum [13]. Since no JCPDS standard files are available for CIAS, CuInSe 2 [14] and CuAlSe 2 [15] standards were used to identify the formation of (1 0 5) which indicates the chalcopyrite structure of all these thin films.…”

Chalcopyrite CuIn 1-x Al x Se 2 (CIAS) thin films with an atomic ratio of Al/(In+Al)=0.4 were grown by a two-stage process onto soda-lime glass substrates. The selenisation was carried out at different temperatures, ranging from 400ºC to 550ºC, for metallic precursors layers evaporated with two different sequences. The first sequence, C1, was evaporated with the Al as the last layer, while in the second one, C2, the In was the last evaporated element.The optical, structural and morphological characterisations led to the conclusion that the precursors sequence determines the crystallisation pathway, resulting in C1 the best option due to the homogeneity of the depth distribution of the elements. The influence of the selenisation temperature was also studied, finding 540ºC as the optimum one, since it allows to achieve the highest band gap value for the C1 sequence and for the given composition.
