Contrasting the Material Chemistry of Cu2ZnSnSe4 and Cu2ZnSnS(4– x )Sex
نویسندگان
چکیده
Earth-abundant sustainable inorganic thin-film solar cells, independent of precious elements, pivot on a marginal material phase space targeting specific compounds. Advanced materials characterization efforts are necessary to expose the roles of microstructure, chemistry, and interfaces. Herein, the earth-abundant solar cell device, Cu2ZnSnS(4-x)Se x , is reported, which shows a high abundance of secondary phases compared to similarly grown Cu2ZnSnSe4.

Synthesis of CuFeS2 Nanoparticles by One-pot Facile Method
Monodisperse copper-iron-sulfide (CuFeS2) nanoparticles as the infrared light absorbing material (chalcopyrite, 0.65 eV), were synthesized based on facile, one step heating up method, by dissolving of CuCl, FeCl3 and SC(NH2)2 as precursors in oleylamine (OLA) alone or in combination with oleic acid (OA) and 1-octadecene (ODE) as solvent. The phase, size, morphology, and size distribution were c...

متن کاملFacile hot-injection synthesis of stoichiometric Cu2ZnSnSe4 nanocrystals using bis(triethylsilyl) selenide.
Cu2ZnSnSe4 is a prospective material as an absorber in thin film solar cells due to its many advantages including direct band gap, high absorption coefficient, low toxicity, and relative abundance (indium-free) of its elements. In this report, CZTSe nanoparticles have been synthesized by the hot-injection method using bis-(triethylsilyl)selenide [(Et3Si)2Se] as the selenium source for the first...
متن کاملZSM-5 Zeolite As Host Material for Semiconductor Nanoparticles
This work describes the optical and structure properties of nickel sulfide and cobalt sulfide nanoparticles in ZSM-5 zeolite. The samples were obtained by sulfidation of the Ni2+ and Co2+ ion-exchange ZSM-5 zeolites in a Na2S solution at room temperature. The optical properties of the samples were studied by UV-visible spectroscopy. Their crystalline structure and morphology were studied by X-r...
