Synthesis of CIS (CuInSe2) Based Materials for Solar Applications

Abstract: Nanopowders of copper indium diselenide were produced with five different organic solvents: ethylenediamine, triethanolamine, oleylamine, oleic acid, and polyetheramine. We successfully synthesized pure CIS nanopowders at a temperature of 240 ∘ C at three different durations of 10 h, 20 h, and 40 h with a one-step process. This shorter time method offers important cost advantages in manufacturing. Polyetheramine and oleic acid were used for the first time in literature for CIS synthesis in an autoclave.

“…14,46,47,66 Além do CIGS, outras células têm mostrado resultados promissores de estabilidade e eficiência tais como aquelas baseadas em CuInSe 2 (CIS) e heterojunções GaInAs/ InP. [46][47][66][67][68] Recentemente, um novo material de índio vem se mostrando altamente promissor. Trata-se do óxido de zinco-índio-gálio amorfo (α-IGZO), que é amplamente utilizado na indústria de transistores, graças à sua alta mobilidade eletrônica de saturação (5 ~ 10 cm 2 /Vs) e baixa corrente de desligamento (<1 pA).…”

“…I 4̅ 2 d ) IB-IIIA-VIA 2 is a group of ternary semiconductors. Their crystal structures are analogous with a double zinc blende or B3 structure (IIB-IVA) in which IIB atoms are replaced by IB and IIIA atoms with a ratio of 1:1. It is well-known that the IB-IIIA-VIA 2 compounds have been intensively investigated because of their various applications; for example, CuInSe 2 is a vital absorber layer material and gives an advantage to flexible thin-film solar cells with high conversion efficiencies of approximately 19%. CuInTe 2 has applications in photoluminescent and photovoltaic devices. , Furthermore, AgInTe 2 could be used for optoelectronic switching at higher frequencies and heterostructure-based photodetectors . More interestingly, numerous recent studies have shown that chalcopyrite compounds potentially exhibit promising thermoelectric (TE) materials with high values of figure of merit (ZT). Especially in Ag-based chalcopyrite semiconductive materials, the thermal conductivities of AgGaTe 2 and AgInTe 2 are relatively low compared to those of CuGaTe 2 and CuInTe 2 , leading to them being widely studied for application in TE materials. , AgGaTe 2 with varying Ag content has a beneficial ZT of 0.8 at 850 K .…”
